Steps
Open Google Chrome and click the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
Choose Settings from the menu, or type chrome://settings into the address bar and press Enter.
In the left sidebar click Privacy and security, then click Clear browsing data.
Set the Time range dropdown to All time to wipe everything, or pick a shorter range like Last hour.
Tick the Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files boxes. Untick anything you want to keep, such as passwords.
Click Clear data and wait a few seconds while Chrome deletes the files.
To remove only one site's cookies, go to chrome://settings/cookies, click See all site data and permissions, search the site and click the bin icon.
On Android or iPhone, open Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings, then Privacy and security, then Clear browsing data.
Tips and common mistakes
Clearing cookies signs you out of most websites, so keep your passwords saved or have them ready.
Choose Cached images and files only if you just want to fix a stale page without losing logins.
Use the Last hour or Last 24 hours range to avoid wiping everything on a shared computer.
Questions
Will clearing cookies delete my bookmarks?
No. Bookmarks, history and saved passwords stay unless you tick those boxes in the Clear browsing data window.
How often should I clear my cache?
Only when a site misbehaves or you need space. Regular clearing is not required and will slow down first page loads.
Does this work the same on a Mac?
Yes. The Chrome menus are identical, so open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Clear browsing data.
