<p>Up
until now we have focused on computers and removing cookies from them. Now we
will move to mobile devices. So, let’s get started by removing iOS and Android
browser cookies. </p>
<h2><strong>Just a Reminder</strong> Before We Get Into  iOS and Android Browser Cookie Removal</h2>
<p>Cookies are tiny data files that sites use to store info on
you and your surfing habits. They will be utilized to learn your likings or
following you for promotional reasons. There are several kinds of cookies.&nbsp; Some will be helpful, while others might
endanger your confidentiality. </p>
<p>Although you are aware that some cookies are helpful and
don't store up a lot of data, you nonetheless probably want to avoid a web
browser from following your activities. </p>
<h2><strong>Deleting iOS And Android Browser Cookies on a Smartphone</strong></h2>
<p>Depending on which phone you favor, the browser functions
resemble computer versions. Android and iPhone browsers save cookies in the
same manner your PC web browser does. We are not going to touch on every
browser because of this. However, there are just slight visual differences, but
not enough to confuse anyone.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I am not going to go into Opera or Firefox for iOS, however
again, like Chrome, they are like the desktop versions. See our previous posts
on those. If you do run into challenges, just reach out through our contact
page and we will get back to you.</p>
<p>On Android, emptying out cookies usually happens inside the
browser itself. Steps you can take remove cache, cookies, and history vary by
model of your Android device but should have the ability to delete cookies from
the application management settings menu.</p>
<p>Of note, is an article on <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/which-browser-is-most-popular-on-each-major-operating-system/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">ZDNet.com</a> which shares some good stats on browser usage for iOS and Android. Some surprising numbers in a couple of places. Anyway, that said, based on these numbers, we are just covering Safari and Chrome.</p>
<h3><strong>iOS Devices</strong> &amp; Browsers</h3>
<h4><strong>Delete </strong>iOS Browser Cookies<strong> in Safari</strong></h4>
<p>1. On your iPhone or iPad, open '<em>Settings</em>'. </p>

<h4><strong>Delete </strong>iOS Browser Cookies in <strong>Chrome</strong></h4>

similar to cleaning them from your computer. </p>
<p>1. Open Google Chrome.</p>

<p>9. Select ‘<em>Clear Browsing Data</em>’ again – or ‘<em>Cancel</em>’ if you wish.</p>
<p>10. Select ‘<em>Done</em>’</p>

<h3><strong>Android</strong> Devices &amp; Browsers</h3>
