Clearing cookies on your Samsung tablet or any other Android device is a task that many people may need to undertake, but are unsure how to do it. Fortunately, it’s a straightforward process, and this guide will walk you through it step by step. This tutorial mainly focuses on Google Chrome, one of the most popular internet browsers, but the process is similar for other browsers as well.
Identifying the Browser and Opening Settings
Step 1: Identify the specific internet browser you are using. In this case, we will use Google Chrome, but the process should be very similar for other browsers.
Step 2: Open up Google Chrome, and you will likely come to a standard starting page.
Step 3: Navigate to the settings panel by clicking on the top three dots in the corner of the browser.
Step 4: Click on “Settings.” If you are using another internet browser, find the settings panel within that browser.
Step 5: Within the settings, click on “Privacy and Security.” This is where you will find the options related to cookies and other browsing data.
Step 6: Click on “Clear Browsing Data” at the top. This will open a new panel where you can configure what you want to delete.
Selecting Cookies and Clearing Data
Step 7: If you want to clear only cookies, click on “Browsing Data” to turn that off. You can also turn off “Cache Merging Files” if needed.
Step 8: Click to clear only “Cookies and Site Data.”
Step 9: Click on the drop-down menu and select “All Time.” This ensures that you clear all cookies, not just recent ones.
Step 10: Click “Clear Data.” This will clear the cookies for the entire time you’ve been using your device.
