Tbh a lot of my knowledge of software also stems from my own insecurities in trusting things we're supposed to rely on. It would weird me out to use a phone every day and have no idea how it works like it's some kind of magic. Idk why I don't feel this insecurity towards things like engineering or physics, maybe because like you say there could just be some dude spying on us and we wouldn't even know. I don't mind the questions, but for your sake consider the fact that you are taking cyber-security so seriously makes you very unlikely to ever be hacked. There's also the fact that ChromeOs is inherently more secure than Windows by virtue of having a smaller user base. Why would a hacker bother targeting ChromeOs when they could just go after people using Windows? Say you're using something like a browser on a video game console. You probably have, by complete accident, the most secure browser out of anyone else.

I still have a lot to research on cyber security, until I get really into Kali Linux's official (paid) courses.

To answer your question it won't clear cookies while you're using it since it only clears it from the hard drive, more so only while in sleep/reboot. (Basically) never from RAM. If it's loaded into a program while you're using it, it's not going to just disappear mid-use.
