Sites include Reddit, Youtube, skidrowreloaded, and possibly more. These sites' cookies never got so large before. Not sure if this is a Slimjet bug or those sites' cookies work differently now, but maybe it should be looked into.

It (they) may not be a cookie.

I tested using Slimjet here http://browsercookielimits.iain.guru/ and got these results

Ok, I used the drop-downs in the settings/content/all page. Apparently, the browser is partitioning drive space for these websites. Is there any settings tweak to prevent these actions?

If your looking in Settings under Privacy and Security / All Sites / See all sites data and information. Where it is reporting the total number of cookies listed by site URL. I think this information is misleading.

Example. For Google.com for my PC is reporting "645 MB - 38 cookies"

This is a report from the browser that Google.com is using a total of 645 MB storage on my HDD for all purposes and is currently handling 38 cookies. It is not reporting that the cookies are using 645 MB HDD storage.

Also, browsers do not physically or literally partition HDD space. The word partition in regards to cookie handling is a method of security that uses header information to "partition" cookie data isolating it so it can only be seen by the website(s) specifically allowed to see it.
