Firstly, why should you clear your browser cookies?

Cookies are text files that websites store within your browser. They help to save your login credentials and identify you as a user via your device. Cookies are super helpful when it comes to creating a tailored user experience, but they do pose a few issues if left on your browser:

  • Storage of your personal information

We suggest clearing your cookies regularly as a best practice for your data security and speed on your browser.
