Cookies are little text files that hold bits of information that are frequently used to identify you and improve your experience when you visit the website again. The only drawback is that cookies may eventually lead to problems that make it difficult for websites to load properly. For example, a freshly updated website may appear broken on your device when you try to load it, but this is not a site issue. Or you won’t be able to log in on the sign-in page.

Microsoft Edge has settings to delete cookies that are stored on your computer if you are experiencing problems loading a page or are attempting to increase your online privacy.
