Cache memory helps your web browser to load previously viewed webpages faster. It achieves this by storing some of the data in the temporary memory, avoiding the need to re-download it when you revisit the webpage. Cookies, on the other hand, store your personal information (like login details) when you visit a website. While some cookies may be necessary and help a great deal in getting rid of redundancies, there are a lot of additional cookies that a website may attach to your web browser. These cookies can track your online behaviour, anywhere from monitoring the products you view to tracking the time you spent on a particular webpage. Many regard this as a clear violation of privacy, and it is suggested you routinely clear all cookies from your web browser. In this article, we bring you two easy methods to clear cache and cookies in Google Chrome for Android mobiles.
