Ever had a website act a little...wonky? Or maybe you noticed pages loading slowly or showing outdated content? A quick fix to these common issues is clearing your browser’s cache and cookies! Think of it as giving your browser a refresh so it can load pages as they’re meant to be seen.

Keep in mind: Clearing your cookies will log you out of all your accounts—but don’t worry, we’ll cover that in more detail below!

What are Cache and Cookies, Anyway?

Cache: Your browser stores pieces of websites (like images and data) to help them load faster when you visit again. Over time this stored data can get outdated.

Cookies: These are small bits of data that store info about your browsing, like your login details and site preferences. They make browsing more personalized but can sometimes lead to unexpected issues if they pile up.

Why Clear Cache and Cookies?

Clearing cache and cookies gives your browser a clean slate, which can:

• Solve display issues and fix outdated or glitchy pages.

• Speed up browsing by clearing out old data that’s slowing things down.

• Improve privacy and remove stored data for a fresh start.
