Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to know what cookies are set, how long they are retained and clear them periodically.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally clear the cookies before each query and obtain new set of cookies.

Describe alternatives you've considered Export quotes, clear app data, re-import quotes.

Additional context As a FOSS app, I think there should be explanation on how Y! Finance cookies are set and how it can be used for tracking the user (by matching with IP and other app identifiers).
