Phone memory

Hello, everyone! Can you tell me if I need to clear cookies and site data on my phone? Do they take up memory? I often search for information on the Internet, but I have never cleared it. If necessary, can you tell me how to do it correctly?
I will be grateful for your help!

Cookies and site data (cache, history, etc) are browser specific. If your phone is Android and you’re using Chrome:
1. Open Chrome.
2. Click on three vertical dots in top right (options menu).
3. Click “History”.
4. Click “Clear browsing data”.
5. Choose what do clear (browsing history, cookies and site data, cached images and files).
6. Click “Clear data”.

If you’re using an Apple phone or a browser other than Chrome, search the Internet for your specific instructions.

As to whether you should, if you search the Internet for something like “clear browsing history on android phone” you’ll find discussion and recommendations. Also links to some YouTube videos.

I’ve got an Android, and I use Chrome. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot for your help!

I regularly clear all cookies and site data. Stops the ads being for stuff you have previously searched / looked at and limits sites tracking.

I never really thought about it before, but now I’m going to make it a regular thing! Thanks.
