Cookies are small documents that sites store on your phone or PC to help them remember information about you and your visit. In this sense, they can modify and personalize your web information. Your bank may use cookies to remember your login email address and how to view the site page. A retailer might use cookies to remember what’s in your cart.

However, cookies can sometimes be a problem. You may need to clear your cookies on an iPhone to determine a problem with the operation of your program or to save additional space. Additionally, some privacy advocates totally suggest cookies imminent, so sites can’t collect individual data about you.

All things considered, although accidentally deleting cookies can be helpful, we suggest that you leave your cookies enabled, as hampering them leads to an unorganized and inappropriate web view. Assuming you’ve blocked cookies and then chosen to betray, check out our article “How to Enable Cookies on an iPhone to Help Make Your Web Surfing Easier”.

Step-by-step instructions for clearing your cookies in Safari on an iPhone

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Look down and tap “Safari”.
3. Tap “Progress” at the bottom of the page.
4. On the Advanced page, tap “Site Data”. On the Website Data page, you can see the processing document sizes for each site stored on your iPhone.

• To clear cookies only for specific destinations, tap “Edit”, then tap the red symbol next to the site name. Press “Delete” to confirm your decision.
• To immediately clear each of your cookies, tap “Erase all website data” and confirm by tapping “Erase now” in the pop-up window.

You should eliminate cookies, but also all experience datasets from Safari – this saves additional space and can help you investigate in case Safari is acting maliciously. To do this:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Look down and tap “Safari”.
3. Tap “Clear history and website data”. Then confirm that by tapping “Clear history and data” on the pop-up window.

The Most Efficient Method to Clear Your Cookies in Different Programs on an iPhone

Assuming you’re using a program other than Safari on your iPhone — like Firefox or Google Chrome, for example — you can clear cookies from those apps as well. However, you will not follow the cookie controls in the settings. You should carefully consider the actual application. In Firefox, for example:

1. Open the Firefox app.
2. Tap the menu in the bottom right corner of the app (it’s cast as three-tier lines).
3. Tap “Settings” and then “Information Management”.
4. Tap “Erase private data” and confirm your choice by tapping “OK” in the affirmation window.

Other external programs also allow you to delete cookies. Here’s how to clear cookies in Chrome:

1. Open the Chrome app.
2. Tap the menu in the lower right (there appears to be three even dots).
3. Tap “Settings”, then “Protection”.
4. Tap “Clear browsing data” to access a menu where you can choose what to clear.
5. Select “Cookies, site data” and anything you want to delete, press the red “Clear browsing data” button and confirm when it asks you.
