How to Clear Cookies in Google
How to Clear Cookies in Google Chrome lets you remove stored site data that tracks your activity and sometimes causes login or loading errors. This guide shows the precise menu paths in the current version of Chrome on desktop and Android. You will finish with a clean browser and better control over what websites remember about you.
Why Cookies Matter in Google Chrome
Cookies store login details, preferences, and tracking information from every site you visit. Over time they can slow down pages or let advertisers follow you across domains. Clearing them regularly keeps Chrome lighter and reduces the chance that old data interferes with new sessions. Make sure you are signed into Chrome with the Google account whose data you want to affect before starting.
How to Clear Cookies in Google Chrome on Desktop
-
Open Chrome Settings
Launch Google Chrome on your computer. Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner, then select Settings from the menu that appears.
-
Navigate to Privacy and security
In the left sidebar click Privacy and security. On the right side select Clear browsing data.
-
Choose the Cookies time range and type
Set the Time range to All time if you want to remove everything. Check the box next to Cookies and other site data. Leave the other two boxes unchecked unless you also want to delete history or cached images.
-

Open the Chrome app and tap the three-dot menu in the top right. Choose Settings, then Privacy and security, followed by Clear browsing data. Select Cookies and site data, pick All time, and tap Clear data. The process finishes in a few seconds on most phones.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- Sign out of important sites before clearing cookies so you do not lose unsaved work.
- Use the Search bar inside Settings to type “cookies” if you cannot locate the Clear browsing data option quickly.
- After clearing, test one frequently used site to confirm you can log back in without issues.
- Chrome sync may restore some cookies if you are signed in; turn off sync for browsing data if you want a permanent clean slate.
FAQ
Will clearing cookies log me out of everything?
Yes. Any site that relies on cookies for login will require you to sign in again after the process completes.
Does this also delete passwords saved in Google?
No. Saved passwords stay in your Google account unless you separately choose to remove them from Password Manager.
Can I clear cookies for only one website?
Yes. Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data > See all site data and permissions, then search for the domain and click Remove.
