How to Clear Cookies on Microsoft Edge Cookies can help websites recognize you whenever you visit them. Cookies can be good if you don’t want to remember all your passwords, but they can also be bad if you care about your online privacy. Either way, you might want to clear cookies on your browser to keep your system working properly. Here’s how to clear cookies for Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and the new Microsoft Edge. WHAT ARE COOKIES? Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer whenever you visit a website. They make surfing the web more useful and hassle-free. With cookies enabled, most websites will remember your passwords and settings. However, cookies are also used by advertisers to target you with personalized ads. Cookies are typically smaller than one megabyte each. But, if you visit a lot of websites, these small files can add up over time. They can take up too much RAM, which can slow down your browser. Cookies might also store outdated or wrong data, which makes it difficult to load an updated version of a site. Most importantly, third-party cookies share your browsing history to advertisers without you knowing. To improve your computer’s performance and protect your privacy, it’s a good idea to clear your cookies occasionally.
