Windows 10: Closing EDGE to clear cookies

I'm running W10 and the latest version of Edge. I have gone into 'choose what to clear' in settings and ticked the box for 'cookies and other site data. I have made an exception of a few sites I use. If I close Edge by selecting settings then take the 'close edge' option at the bottom it clears the cookies (apart from the exceptions). However, if I close the browser by clicking the 'X' in the top right of the screen it doesn't clear the cookies and when I reload Edge those cookies are still there. Is that correct? Should I always close using the first method?
