What happens if I delete all cookies?

When you delete all cookies, all stored data from websites you have visited will be erased. This means that websites will no longer recognize you and you may have to log in again to websites you were previously logged in to. In addition, preferences you have set on websites, such as themes, language settings or location preferences, may be reset.

How do I know if a specific website's cookies have actually been deleted?

After you delete a specific website's cookies in Google Chrome, you can go back to the list of all cookies (as described in steps 4 and 5 of the blog). If the website is no longer listed, the cookies have been successfully deleted.

What are the risks of not deleting cookies regularly?

Cookies can be used to track your browsing habits, which can potentially violate your privacy. In addition, old cookies can sometimes cause technical problems when visiting websites, especially if the website has since undergone updates. Regularly deleting cookies can help ensure your privacy and avoid technical problems.

Can deleting cookies affect a website's functionality?

Yes, some websites rely on cookies to function correctly. For example, if a website has a shopping cart, it is often stored using cookies. When you delete these cookies, your shopping cart is emptied. You may also have to log back into websites or reset certain preferences (such as language settings).
