Hi everyone! How are you? Hope you all are doing well. Today I came up with another help article. And this is about how to clear cache and cookies on Dell laptop.
What are cache and cookies?
Cookies and cache both store information, but different types of information. Basically, cookies store data like user information and interactions on a particular site. On the other hand, a cache stores the audio and visual content that speeds up the loading of web pages. And you have to clear the cache manually all the time. Similarly, cookies can be deleted manually or some browsers can delete them automatically. Now, let’s move to the core of the article.
