Even though some of us don’t know what online cookies are, we accept a large number of cookies every day. Not only do they pose privacy concerns, but they also take up memory on your device.
refer to This helpful guide A detailed and simple lesson about Internet cookies. For the scope of this article, all you need to know is that every time you click “Accept Cookies” or even visit a website, you’re placing a bunch of files on your device. Over time, these files can pile up, slowing down your iPad and taking up space.
If you use Safari frequently on your iPad, you probably have a lot of passwords, cookies, site permissions, and other login information in your Safari cache. It’s a good habit to clear it out from time to time.
Note that this will require re-entering login credentials or other personal information on some websites, as clearing your cache will make your Safari look brand new again. Also note that this will only clear your Safari data, not your browsing history, and save website data from other apps on your iPad.
Along the way, you may also want to Clear your iPhone’s cache and help speed it up.
To clear the cache on your iPad, open Safari > Click the “Show Sidebar” icon in the upper left corner > Click the “History” icon > Then click “Clear.” Both icons are highlighted in the screenshot above. Clicking Clear will display multiple time ranges. If you wish to delete all caches, select “All time.”
