After updating to v3.5.0 I see a lot more notifications popping up even for my whitelisted sites.
It turns out something called CookieAutoDeleteBrowsingDataCleanup is cleaned(?) and logged every time a tab for a whitelisted site is closed.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
In a brand new Firefox profile, install CAD v3.5.0.
In CAD settings: Automatic Cleaning Options
✔ Enable Automatic Cleaning 1 second Delay Before Automatic Cleaning
Other Browsing Data Cleanup Options
✔ Enable Service Workers Cleanup
Extension Options
✔ Enable Cleanup Log and Counter
In List of Expressions:
Whitelist *.whatsapp.com.
Keep all the stuff for *.whatsapp.com.
In a new tab, open https://web.whatsapp.com/. (You don't need an account).
Open about:serviceworkers and make sure a Service Worker for WhatsApp is registered.
Close the WhatsApp tab.
Wait for 1 second.
Expected behavior
No logs should be generated, since nothing should be deleted by CAD.
Actual behavior
A log is generated which says: web.whatsapp.com (CookieAutoDeleteBrowsingDataCleanup): Clean to trigger Site Data cleaning for web.whatsapp.com.
In about:serviceworkers the WhatsApp service worker is still present, which is expected.

Additional context
The issue is the same for other Other Browsing Data Cleanup Options, even for LocalStorage which was already supported in v3.4.0. When none of the other browsing data is selected, no logs are generated.
In v3.4.0 the issue (for LocalStorage) is not exhibited.

Guess I should find a way to check if any browsingdata needs to be cleared before I send that cookie off for cleaning. Reason being is that we cannot enumerate anything else other than cookies, so if any of the CAD settings for browsingData is enabled, and no cookies were set for that site, we set one up ourselves as a trigger. That trigger then goes through each specific browsing data to check if it should be cleaned.
In my opinion: the deletion of CAD own cookie also should not appear in the notifications, because it is very confusing. Some inexperienced users maybe scared about this.

While filtering out the CAD Internal cookie from being shown as removed (it will be removed but most likely re-generated if need be), it has come to my attention that the initial cookies stored by whatsapp do NOT include the 'web.whatsapp.com' domain, thus it cannot remove the service workers properly. I guess now I need to actually create a cookie with that specific domain as they access it...
