Why Clear Cache & Cookies?
Websites sometimes don't load correctly or look odd. This often happens because your Chrome browser stores old information called "cache" and "cookies." Clearing them usually fixes these issues.
What are Cache & Cookies?
Cookies: These are like small notes that websites leave on your computer to remember things about you, like your logins or preferences.
Cache: This is where Chrome stores parts of websites (like images) to make them load faster next time you visit.
How to Clear Cache & Cookies in Chrome (Step-by-Step):
Open Chrome: Start by opening the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
Go to Clear Browsing Data:
Option 1 (Menu): Click the three vertical dots (More) in the top right corner of Chrome. Then, go to "More tools" > "Clear browsing data."
Option 2 (Shortcut): Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Command + Shift + Delete (Mac) on your keyboard.
Choose Time Range: In the "Time range" dropdown, select "All time" to clear everything.
Select What to Clear: Make sure the boxes next to "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files" are checked.
Clear Data: Click the blue "Clear data" button.
What to Expect After Clearing:
Sign In Again: You'll probably need to sign in to websites again.
Slower Loading (at first): Websites might load a bit slower the first time because they need to reload images and other content.
