Understanding and Managing Online Cookies on Your iPad
Online cookies are a common feature that many of us encounter on a daily basis while browsing the internet. Despite their ubiquitous presence, the majority of users might not fully comprehend the implications of accepting these cookies. In addition to privacy concerns, online cookies also have a notable impact on the performance and storage capabilities of your device.
What Are Online Cookies?
Online cookies are small files that websites place on your device when you visit them or agree to accept their use. These files accumulate over time, occupying valuable memory space on your iPad and potentially reducing its overall efficiency.
Effects of Accumulated Cookies on Your iPad
If you frequently use Safari on your iPad, you may find a significant amount of stored passwords, cookies, site permissions, and other login information within your Safari cache. It is advisable to periodically clear this cache to optimize the performance of your iPad. However, clearing this cache will result in the loss of stored login credentials and personal information on some websites, as it resets Safari to its default state. It is important to note that clearing the cache in Safari only affects data stored within the browser and does not impact browsing history or saved website data from other applications on your iPad.
To clear the cache on your iPad’s Safari browser, follow these steps:
- Open Safari on your device.
- Tap on the Show Sidebar icon located at the top-left corner of the screen.
- Click on the History icon within the sidebar menu.
- Tap on the Clear option.
By choosing the ‘All time’ option, you can delete all accumulated cache data from your Safari browser, thus improving the performance of your device.
