Learn why clearing your browser’s cookies and cache can solve common issues and how to do it on Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

🧠 What Are Cookies and Cache—and Why Should You Delete Them?

Cookies store small bits of data from websites—like login info, site preferences, or shopping carts.
Cache stores images and files to help websites load faster the next time you visit.

Over time, both can cause problems like:

• Pages loading incorrectly
• Login errors
• Old content showing up instead of updates
• Privacy concerns (tracking cookies)

Solution: Periodically clear them—either globally or for a specific website.

🕓 When Should You Delete Cookies and Cache?

• After website updates or redesigns
• When you experience login or loading issues
• If you suspect a site isn’t functioning properly
• As a regular privacy or maintenance habit

🧓 For Less Tech-Savvy Users:​

• It’s okay if the names differ slightly across browsers—look for anything related to “Privacy,” “Site Data,” or “Browsing History.”
• If you’re not sure, ask someone you trust or reach out to our support team.

🔐 Bonus Tip: Use Incognito or Private Mode

This mode doesn’t save cookies or cache after your session ends—great for quick, private browsing.
