SUMMARY
KDE Sweeper has an option to Clean the cookies, history and temporary cache of websites visited along with other options. However it does not clear the cache, history and cookies of KDE Falkon browser. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Launch Falkon browser. Visit a few websites like google.com, yahoo.com, outlook.com, gmail.com and log into a few sites.
2. Close the KDE Falkon browser 
3. Check the size of directory $HOME/.cache/falkon/ or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/falkon by running the following commands
     du -sm $HOME/.cache/falkon/
     du -sm $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/falkon
4. Launch KDE Sweeper application
5. Select all the options under the section "Web Browsing" 
6. Click on the "Clean Up" button. 

OBSERVED RESULT
