You likely use your Android phone’s web browser every day to look up everything, and as a result, it may be filled with data accumulated when you browse the internet. This data serves a few different functions, typically filing your web browser’s cache and cookies. It can help improve how quickly your browser loads by saving assets from websites you frequently visit as well as saving preferences, such as letting you stay logged in to websites.
However, cookies can also be used by websites to track your browsing history, often with the intention of serving personalized advertising nearly everywhere you go. (I’ve recently been seeing ads for eyeglasses after visiting a few online stores to compare prices and styles.)
Plus, the larger your browser’s cache, the more bloated your browser app becomes with data from websites you might not even be visiting anymore — and yet some of their assets and possibly a few tracking cookies could be sitting in there.

Every so often, it’s good practice to clear the cache of your phone’s web browser and remove cookies. Pictured here is the Galaxy S21.
