How Do Cookies Work, and How Do I Delete Them?

✅ Deleting cookies is an easy task. Whether it's necessary or not is another matter.
Cookies work by letting websites save data on your computer that is then sent back to them the next time you visit. In most browsers, CTRL+SHIFT+DEL opens a dialog allowing you to clear cookies and more. Browsers also have several cookie-related settings (best found by using search within the settings pages). While cookies can be used to track you, it’s generally not something to be concerned about.
