When you browse the web using your Android smartphone, the browser stores minutes bits of temporary information called cookies. Cookies help in remembering your browsing history and saved data, which makes it easy for you to browse the same content in the future as well. The only problem here is that these cookies accumulate over time and can ho on your phone’s memory. This gets very annoying when you have an Android smartphone that does not support an external MicroSD card for memory expansion.
It is a good practice to keep clearing the cookies from your browser at regular intervals of time, and fortunately, it’s very easy to accomplish on your Android device. Now, you may be using various browsers on your Android smartphone, but the procedure to clear the cookies remains more or less the same.

The browser cookies will now be deleted from the device. Once you accomplish this task, keep in mind that the moment you start browsing again, new cookies will be added to the browser.

Once a week is a good time period to clear the cookies as a lot of them will be accumulated as you keep browsing the web.
