How to Clear Chrome Browser History and Cookies on Computer
This tutorial will tell you how to clear cookies and cache on your browser, computer, or phone. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by the websites we visit. They are stored on your device to ensure you have a seamless user experience. Cache stores data locally so it can be loaded faster.
Cookies facilitate various functions on websites. They are usually added to your computer after you enter a site or after a specific interaction, and they typically expire after some time. In the meantime, cache accumulates much more data on your computer which can significantly reduce free disk space.

Chrome does an excellent job of storing your browsing history, cache, and cookies to optimize the performance and usability of surfing the internet. That said, if you’re privacy-minded or just like to run a tight ship, clearing away old browser data is a good practice to do on a regular basis.
The browser history—a list of every page you've visited online and the time you were there—is a standard of modern computing. And it can lead to trouble; it's practically a cliché. Think of the romantic "comedies" where a guy (it's always a guy) finds himself in hot water after his girlfriend looks at his browser history.
You can quickly access sites you’ve previously visited because the web content is cached and quick to load. Websites store cookies on your computer that contain information such as site preferences and login status. Every site you visit is stored in your browser history unless you’re using private browsing mode.
