How to Block or Enable Cookies on Your iPhone
Cookies really get a bad rep, but what are cookies and what do they do on your Apple devices, or all devices for that matter?
Well, cookies vary. There are three different types of cookies, but for the context of this guide, we are focusing mainly on temporary cookies. Cookies are basically just files that contain very small amounts of data on your device. That data is put there by a website, and though that sounds scary, it's for pretty practical reasons. Cookies are not harmful, they are there so that the websites you visit are able to remember you as a user. The only harm done by cookies is that some of them tend to add up over time, taking up valuable storage space on your device.
Before blocking cookies it's important to know that some websites aren't fully functional without the use of cookies. Some work great and you notice little to no change when visiting that site, but this varies. So keep this in mind going forward.
In this guide, I show you how to block or disable the blocking of cookies. So, if you want to block cookies, this guide has you covered, if you don't and want to enable the use of cookies on your device again, this guide still has you covered! Let's get started!
