Why Websites Use Cookies
Websites commonly use cookies to track your browsing habits and target ads to you. This is usually a harmless process. However, in some situations, cookies can provide a way for hackers to get into your online accounts. Clearing the cookies in Chrome permanently removes them from your computer so that the cookies can’t be used in that way. The cached files used by Chrome are helpful in ways similar to cookies. However, the Chrome cache can become corrupted and cause page loading issues. Cache files take up space on a hard drive, which can affect your device’s performance. When you erase cookies, cached files, history, and other components saved in Chrome, Chrome won’t work exactly the same afterward. For example, you will be logged out of websites that rely on that data. The history suggestions that come up when you type in the Chrome navigation bar are also cleared. Before you delete any cookies, be certain you do not use them regularly.
