"Clear all Cookies except Google Cookies", thanks Chrome. /cc @matthew_d_green 
Also "Clear browsing data" -> "Cookies and other site data" doesn't empty local storage. That comes unexpected since localStorage is broadly used in web/ad tracking.
So this is what's actually left after you "cleared cookies" in Chrome…
In "Clear browsing data" there's at least a notice that I won't be signed out of Google. In chrome://settings/siteData?search=cookies however, there's a "Remove all" button which doesn't remove all. See screenshots before, after click on "remove all" and after refresh.
Brief correction: Cookies seem to get removed and re-created immediately. At least the cookie content and creation date seems to change. Nonetheless: After hitting the "remove all" button you still don't end up with an empty cookie jar.
