You can clear cookies on your Google Pixel device through the Chrome app by accessing the browsing data settings. Here's how:
Steps to Clear Cookies in Chrome on your Google Pixel:
- Open Chrome: Launch the Google Chrome app on your Pixel phone.
- Access the Chrome Menu: Tap the More button, located in the top right corner. This button is usually represented by three vertical dots.
- Go to History: In the drop-down menu, select History.
- Clear Browsing Data: On the History page, tap Clear browsing data.
- Choose a Time Range: Select a time range from the dropdown menu at the top. You can choose from options like "Last hour," "Last 24 hours," "Last 7 days," "Last 4 weeks," or "All time."
- Select "Cookies and site data": Make sure the box next to "Cookies and site data" is checked. You can also choose to clear other data like browsing history and cached images and files.
- Clear Data: Tap the Clear data button at the bottom of the screen.
Important Considerations:
- Impact of Clearing Cookies: Clearing cookies will sign you out of most websites and may reset site preferences.
- Alternative Browsers: If you use other browsers on your Google Pixel (e.g., Firefox, Samsung Internet), the steps for clearing cookies will be different for each browser. Look for a "Privacy" or "Browsing Data" section within the browser's settings.
- Selective Cookie Deletion: Chrome doesn't easily allow deleting individual cookies. Clearing all cookies for a specific site involves more steps, which might be found under Site Settings (accessed from the three-dot menu -> Settings -> Site Settings).
Clearing cookies regularly can help protect your privacy and improve your browsing experience.
