On Microsoft Edge, you can quickly clear cookies from all or a specific website to resolve loading and sign-in problems, and in this guide, you will learn how.
Cookies are tiny text files that contain small pieces of data that are often used to identify you and enhanced your browsing experience when returning to the site. The only problem is that over time cookies can cause issues that might prevent websites from loading correctly. For instance, when you try to load a recently updated website, it may look broken on your device, but this is not a problem with the site. Or the sign-in page won’t let you login in.
If you are having issues loading a website or trying to improve your online privacy, Microsoft Edge includes settings to clear cookies saved on your computer.
In this guide, you will learn the steps to clear cookies on Microsoft Edge whether you use Windows 11 or 10.
