Save cookies but not history? & Windows 10 cookies

I have a web site for my kids games PCs which sets a cookie for login. By changing the ClearCacheOnClose line in the [Security] section to False, I'm able to then freeze the PC so there is no need to login when visiting the web site, but
1. On the Windows 7 PCs, it leaves the link on the home page (local) in the visited state (purple instead of blue)
2. It doesn't work on Windows 10

Is there a way to clear all the history except cookies?

I can see (and examine) the cookie on all PCs in the %localappdata%\Temp\cache\Cookies file, so I'm not sure why it works on Windows 7 and not on Windows 10. Ideas?

The [Security]ClearCahceOnClose=True removes all the cookies and history for the user.

To only clear the history, you could use the [Files]ShutdownScript=... to run a batch file to remove a specific folder or set of files.
