Data files stored by websites within an Android device’s browser are typically accessed through the browser’s settings menu. These files contain browsing information, potentially including login details, preferences, and user activity. Clearing or managing these files can affect website behavior and login status. For example, deleting the files for a specific website may require the user to re-enter credentials upon the next visit.
Managing these data files offers benefits such as increased privacy, by removing stored browsing history and personal information. It can also improve device performance by freeing up storage space. Historically, managing this type of data has become increasingly important due to growing concerns about online tracking and data security regulations.
