Deleting Android cookies: How it works

In your Android browser, you should regularly delete cookies so that no dangerous data gaps can occur and the functions of the browser are not limited by large storage volume.

How to delete cookies on your Android smartphone in the default browser

Using the default browser for Android on your smartphone, delete cookies as follows:

1. Of course, the first step is to open your Android browser. In most cases, it is called "Internet" or "Browser". In the top right corner, you will see an icon consisting of three dots.
2. When you have tapped on the icon, the settings of your browser will open. Now select the menu item "Data and security". A number of different options will open.
3. Now select "Delete all cookie data". Then confirm the message window. Already all cookies of your Android browser are deleted.

How to delete cookies in the Chrome app

If you surf with Google Chrome instead, proceed as follows:

1. Whoever does not use the standard browser on his Android device, usually works with Google Chrome. There, too, collected cookies can be deleted very easily.
2. Also here, three dots can be seen in the top right corner of the browser. Click on the icon. Then open the settings.
3. Within the settings, you must first scroll down. Unter dem Menüpunkt „Datenschutz“ klicken Sie auf „Verlauf“ und dann auf „Browserdaten löschen“.
4. Hinter der Option „Cookies und Websitedaten“ müssen Sie nun einen Haken setzen. Alle anderen Optionen können Sie sich durchlesen. Anschließend können Sie entscheiden, welche der Daten Sie zusätzlich löschen möchten.
5. Abschließend tippen Sie auf den Button „Daten löschen“.
