What Happens When You Delete Cookies in a Web Browser?

There are times when you’ll no longer want cookies stored on your computer. For example:

Web pages are slow to load. A website displays a 400 Bad Request error. A website contains too many ads that store cookies on your device. You suspect a website uses cookies to follow you around the web. You no longer want the web browser to fill out forms automatically.

When you delete cookies, you’ll no longer automatically sign in to commonly visited websites, and the sites won’t be customized to your preferences. Also, if you use two-factor authentication, deleting the cookie means you’ll need to complete two-factor authentication again. If you use the same web browser, such as Google Chrome, but on different devices, deleting the cookies from Chrome on your laptop doesn’t delete the cookies from Chrome on your tablet. Cookies are specific to the hardware device being used. Additionally, if you use different web browsers on the same device, like Firefox and Opera, for example, deleting the cookies from Firefox does not remove the cookies stored by Opera. Cookies are not shared between web browsers installed on the same device.
