Is there an URL or command line shortcut to manage exceptions for cookies and site data?

Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is any way to access the list of exceptions for cookies and site data by an URL shortcut (to bookmark it) or by a command line flag/option (to create an application launcher), my OS is GNU/Linux.

So far I'm using this URL: about:preferences#privacy , but scrolling down to the button "Manage permissions..." is still needed.

Basically I would like to access the white dialog box shown in the uploaded image by just entering an URL o executing some command.

The motivation is: constantly changing exceptions list (allowing by session o permanently) of the visited websites (specially after clearing Firefox Data).

Thank you very much to everyone in advance.

You will probably have to check the permissions.sqlite database directly with a suitable SQLite application.

Hey, thanks!

That's a great idea, will try to find a SQLite application or something to manage the exceptions from there.
