Delete Cookies iPad

By deleting cookies from your iPad, you clean up your tablet. Because websites store all kinds of files on your device, it takes up space. In addition, for your own privacy, it is recommended that you occasionally clear browser history and browser data. To understand exactly how this works, we will first explain again what cookies actually are.

What are cookies

Every website you visit on your phone, tablet, computer or laptop stores data on this device. These data, small text files containing computer codes, are called cookies. So they are on your iPad, but also on an iPhone or Mac. Cookies allow websites to analyze and predict your behavior, such as login information, shopping cart contents or other preferences. Based on this information, websites adjust the offer you see in the hope of generating more success, such as selling more products. Some cookies require your permission; some allow websites to place cookies without the visitor’s permission, about which you can read more below.

What types of cookies are there
There are three different types of cookies:
1. Functional cookies Ensure that a website works properly.
These cookies a website operator may set without the visitor’s consent
2. Analytical cookies Provide information about visitors’ website behavior.
If these cookies have little impact on privacy, the website visitor need not give permission.
3. Tracking cookies Track the online route taken by visitors.
Tracking cookies require the website visitor’s consent.
