The easiest route of getting rid of cookies on most browsers is ctrl+shift+delete to bring up the deletion of many items related to browser history and cookies. 

 

Just know that any websites that require you to login that recognize your device as already having logged in will now ask you to log in again. Cookies are not malicious and don’t need to be deleted for safety, but many people like to get rid of them so that shortcut above should help
