How to continuously reset history cookies/cache for one website.

Is there a way to continuously clear cookies and cache data for one domain or website? Or reworded, a way to not record cookies or cache data for one domain or website?

I have managed to find the article to clear cookies and cache data for the domain but have not been able to find out how to do this continuously without having to go into the settings each time to clear this history.

Kind regards

Do you have a problem with this website that you want to clear cookies and cache ?

There are extensions that can remove cookies (search the Add-ons website), but I'm not sure if there is one for clearing or disabling the cache for a specific origin if that is possible (clearing the cache might be all or nothing).

While on the site call the Page info window and on the Permissions tab for Set Cookies choose Allow for session (or Block, which may prevent access to the site). Further down, there is also Store Data in Persistent Storage which you may want to reset but there is no way to stop data being cached for one domain or website.
