What about "persistent" cookies? I spent hours and was unable to find them, let alone remove them.

They are normal cookies with a longer "time to die". They are mixed with normal cookies.

I read they don't clear with clearing the cookies though? I want to make sure there aren't any and get rid of them, as well as any government or other malware while I am at it.

After 1/6 I was encouraged to join, I forget, Rumble I think, to see what they were saying, they tried to get me to agree to putting permanent cookies on my computer so I gave up, that was the first I heard about it.
