Clear Website Data on iPhone/iPad: Cookies & Cache Guide

Managing Website Data on Your iPhone or iPad

It’s straightforward to clear the cache on your iPhone or iPad. However, this action will result in being logged out of all websites and the loss of cookie-based settings.

But what if you only need to remove cookies or cached data for a specific website? This is achievable, although it requires navigating through a comprehensive list of visited sites and their associated cookies.

Why Clear Data for a Single Site?

You may wonder about the benefits of this targeted approach. The primary reason is to address issues with a particular website. Clearing its cache and cookies, then logging back in, can often resolve unexpected behavior.

This method allows for troubleshooting without affecting your login status or preferences on other websites you frequently use.

How to Clear Cache and Cookies for a Specific Website

The process involves accessing the website data settings on your device. You will then be presented with a list of all sites that have stored data on your iPad or iPhone.

From this list, you can select the problematic website and choose to delete its cache, cookies, or both. This targeted approach offers a more refined solution than a full cache clearance.

Following these steps can often restore a website to proper functionality, providing a smoother browsing experience.

Clearing Cookies and Cache for a Specific Website

To begin, access the Settings application on your device. Then, locate Safari within the settings menu on the left side. Scroll down the Safari options until you find and select "Advanced" on the right.

The display may differ slightly on an iPhone, but the process remains readily understandable.
