What Are Cache and Cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device by websites to remember your preferences, login details, and browsing history. They function like digital name tags, enabling websites to recognise you and provide a personalised experience.
Cache is temporary storage for web elements such as images and scripts. It speeds up your browsing by loading previously accessed content from your device instead of downloading it from the server each time you visit a site.
Together, cookies and cache improve your web experience, making it faster and more personalised.
Why Clear Cache and Cookies?
Regularly clearing your browser's cache and cookies helps your device run smoothly and resolves issues like websites not loading correctly or displaying outdated content.
