How do I keep tracking protection settings when clearing all history

Good morning. When I 'clear all history' my tracking protection settings reverse to default. Is there a way to keep that information even when choosing to clear site preferences? I don't see any kind of option for it. Also what exactly does 'site preferences' encompass? I wonder if it is even something worth clearing in the first place. Thanks.

History doesn't configure tracking protections. If you clear history anything set in history goes along with it. You should look at 3rd party software for what your asking.

Thanks for responding. The only time I notice tracking protections reverting is when I clear history. Also, under clear history what does site preferences actually refer to?
