Overview
Typically when you 
surf the web (not using Incognito mode), your browser keeps a record containing a few details. Cookies store info about your browsing habits and preferences. Cached files store temporary data to help improve website 
loading speed. History stores a list of the sites you visit frequently.
That’s why it is important to clear your cookies and cached files on a regular basis. It can help resolve issues like 
slow loading or websites detecting your location, as well as 
free up storage and remove 
corrupted information. However, it can also log you out and erase any preferences saved on those particular sites.
