How to clean cookies in Opera and other browsers

Cookies are text files that are stored on your PC in a hidden folder. They contain information about all the pages you visited. As a rule, these are your registration data, namely logins and passwords. Some users do not know how to clear cookies in Opera or another browser, so you need to help them figure it out. But before you get rid of these files, you need to find out what they are used for.

If you visit the same site on a regular basis, you will most likely notice that you do not need to "log in" all the time, because the input is done automatically. Agree, this is very convenient, especially in cases where the password consists of many numbers, letters and symbols (for example, such passwords are placed on electronic purses).

But there is another side of the coin, which from time to time forces users to clean the cookies in the Opera and other browsers. Read more about this.

Why clean cookies?

Despite the positive qualities of the cookies, there are also disadvantages. First, after a while the pages start to load longer. Secondly, there may be problems with authorization on the resources that you regularly visit.

The main reason why you need to delete cookies is that these files contain information (logins and passwords) from all resources, which means they can be abducted by intruders.

On some sites there is an option (for example, "Alien Computer"), the activation of which allows you to make sure that cookies will not be saved in the browser. It is strongly recommended to use this feature, especially on those resources where important information or money is stored (payment system sites and others).

If you use the automatic login feature, you need to periodically delete cookies

How to clean the cookies in the "Opera"?

In order to get rid of cookies in the Opera, you need to open the browser menu by clicking the button in the upper left corner. Here you will need the "Settings" section, which, by the way, can be opened with the "Alt" and "P" buttons.

In the left menu, select the option "Security". At the bottom is a subsection where there is a button that allows you to clear cookies in the "Opera". It is worth noting that if you want to delete all cookies, you must click the appropriate button. If you want to add some site to the exceptions, you can use this option ("Management of exceptions").

When you notice that a resource opens incorrectly, you need to clear the cookies that belong to it. In other words, it is not necessary to delete all cookies if you notice a problem on one site.

So, you learned how to get rid of cookies in the "Opera". Now it is recommended to see how to perform the same operation in other browsers.

Clearing cookies in "Chrome"

In order to delete these files in Google Chrome, you need to open the browser menu (the button with three horizontal bars), and then select "Settings". A window opens where you need to scroll down the page and click "Show advanced settings". Here you will need to go to the "Content Settings".

You already know how to delete cookies in the "Opera", which means that you can easily cope with this procedure in "Chrome". You also have the option to delete all cookies files or make exceptions at your discretion.

If a site does not open, an error occurs (for example, "404"), then try to clear the cookies of this resource. Of course, there is no guarantee that the site will work correctly, but in some cases this operation helps.

How to remove cookies in Yandex.Browser?

If you use a browser from Yandex, then in order to clear the cookies, you need to go to the menu (the button, as in "Google Chrome") and move the cursor to the "Advanced" item.

A context menu will appear where you are interested in the option "Clear history". Set the checkbox next to the option "Cookies and other site data". On the top, specify how long you want to delete the files. It is recommended to set the option "For all time". The last step is the "Clear History" button.

As you can see, even inexperienced users can delete cookies in Yandex.Browser. In principle, this applies to other browsers, as mentioned above.
