Clearing the cookies can also delete anything related to what you have browsed previously. The cookies in your browser are used to determine the ads and related information, so the next time you open the browser or search for something, related data of your past browsing comes up.

In most cases, clearing the cache, cookies and browsing history will make loading web pages faster. If some websites failed to load properly, clearing the cookies can help.
