To clear cookies on an Android device, the process depends on the browser you use, but here is the general method for Google Chrome, the most common browser:
- Open the Chrome app on your Android device.
- Tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Tap Privacy and security.
- Tap Clear browsing data.
- Choose a time range, such as All time to delete all cookies.
- Check the box for Cookies and site data and uncheck other items if you only want to clear cookies.
- Tap Delete data or Clear data to confirm.
This will remove cookies stored by websites, which may sign you out of sites and reset preferences
. For other browsers like Firefox or Samsung Internet, the steps are similar: open the browser settings, find privacy or browsing data options, and choose to clear cookies or site data
. Regularly clearing cookies can free up storage, improve privacy, and fix website issues, but it also means sites won't remember your login or preferences until you log in again
