How to Clear Cookies for a Specific Website in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox

Cookies are packets of information that websites deposit on the local storage of your computer to remember your preferences, cart items, etc., and keep you logged in on the website. However, many times when a site is behaving unexpectedly or appears broken on the browser, the first and foremost step is to clear the cookies so it can be reloaded and potentially fix the issue.

But you don’t have to clear the cookies for the entire browser when you’re facing the issue on a single website. Fortunately, clearing cookies for a specific website is extremely easy and only requires a little effort from your side.

Remove Cookies for a Specific Website in Edge

Microsoft Edge is one of the most popular browsers out there. If this is the browser of your choice, read on to know how you can easily delete the cookies.

To clear cookies without heading to the Settings tab, open the website on the Edge browser and then click on the ‘Lock’ icon in the address bar. Next, click on the ‘Cookies’ option. This will open a separate window on your screen.

Now, click on a category of cookies to select and click on the ‘Remove’ button to delete the cookies from your local storage. Repeat this process for each category.

To clear the cookies from the Settings menu, click on the ‘ellipsis’ icon (three horizontal dots) and then select the ‘Settings’ option from the menu to proceed.

After that, click on the ‘Cookies and Site permission’ tab from the left sidebar.

Then, from the right section of the window, click on the ‘Manage and delete cookies and site data’ tile to continue.

Now, click on the ‘See all cookies and site data’ option.

After that, you can either use the search bar present on the top right of the page or manually scroll down to locate the website. Once located, click on it to continue.

Then, click on the ‘Trash’ icon to delete the cookies from your local storage. Repeat this step for each category. And that’s it, you have successfully deleted cookies for a specific website in Microsoft Edge.
