If you use Firefox or Opera web browsers on iPhone or iPad, perhaps even as your default browser, you may eventually want to clear the cookies. Fortunately, the procedure is pretty simple for both Firefox and Opera browsers in iOS and iPadOS.
If you’re not sure what browser cookies are, they’re basically just bits of information that includes your saved login information, website preferences, and other data to improve your browsing experience. Cookies are website-specific and you’ll have to accept cookies for sites individually. Typically, when you clear your browser history, cookies are removed as well, but sometimes you may want to remove cookies without affecting your history. Here, we’ll be focusing on just that, but for the Firefox and Opera mobile browsers specifically, for iPhone and iPad. If you’re wanting to do the same with Safari, go here instead.
