When you tell Chrome to wipe private data about you, it spares two websites from the purge: Google.com, YouTube

Re: What's "site data"?

A cookie belongs to a domain and is always sent when a browser sends a request to that domain.

localStorage belongs to a domain but isn't sent when the browser sends a request. It is available to code served from the domain so gives a site a way of accumulating state without bulking up the http requests.
