When you erase cookies, cached files, history, and other components saved in Chrome, remember that Chrome will not work exactly the same afterwards. For example, any logged-in websites that rely on that data will be logged out. The history suggestions that come up when you type in Chrome's navigation bar will also be cleared. Before you delete any cookies, be certain you do not use them regularly. Often, clearing them from a specific site is a useful method and saves other sites that you use often from getting information dumped.
