Salutations Wldbeast, 


Looks like we’re working with macOS 10.13, per your profile. If you go to Safari > Preferences > General. You should see an option there for ‘Remove history items:’. You can set that for a period of time. Here’s the link from the Safari for macOS User Guide that goes over that as well - Safari General preferences on Mac 


Thanks.
