[PyQt] save cookies and temp files to prefered folder

[Peter Irbizon]

Hi Florian,

thank you for your kind answer! I am trying to do my tiny webbrowser with
ability to destroy all cookies (and tracking data) used by visited pages.
My idea - I click on button "Erase all" and it should erase all cookies and
tracking data so when I open page again it should be empty.

Many thanks
Peter
