How to clear cookies in Chrome, Firefox and Edge on windows PC

 Chrome: how to delete cookies in Chrome on your Windows.

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. In the top right corner of the browser you will see three dots, which indicates a settings menu.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Advanced.”
  4. Click on the section “Clear browsing data.”
  5. Under the “All cookies and site data” section, you can customize which cookies to delete based on a specific time range and other options. Finally, you can complete the deletion by clicking “Clear data.” You can also clear your cache, which is where your computer stores previously viewed websites so they can be loaded faster on future visits. 

Edge: How to delete cookies in Edge on your Windows PC:

  1. Launch Microsoft Edge and go to the “more” menu and select “Settings.”
  2. Scroll to “Clear browsing data,” and then select “cookies and saved website data” and then select clear.

There are a few different reasons why you would want to clear your browser’s cookies. Whether for privacy reasons or general computer maintenance and clean up, most browsers make clearing your cookies a fairly easy task.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to clear your cookies because you appreciate the convenience of not having to constantly log in to your favorite sites, be sure to invest in a reputable VPN such as Norton Secure VPN to protect your sensitive information. Norton Secure VPN not only encrypts the data being sent to and from your computer, but it also blocks ad trackers by intercepting cookies and removing your personally identifiable information.

Firefox: how to delete cookies in Firefox on your Windows

  1. Open Firefox on your computer.
  2. In the upper right-hand corner of the browser, click the “menu bars,” which look like three parallel lines, and click the “Privacy” tab.
  3. Here you can select “Clear your recent history.”
  4. Be sure that only “Cookies” is checked, and then select the time frame for which you would like to delete your cookies. If you want to delete all cookies, select “Everything.”

5. Double check your selections to make sure that other items you want to keep are not selected, and then hit “Clear now.”
