What happens when I clear my cache?

I was just wondering exactly what kinds of things Edge clears when I empty its cache. If I clear my cache, will it clear all the cookies too, therefore signing me out of everything?

  • Hi,
    no, cookies can be cleared separately.
    clearing cache clears saved images, files like html, css, javascript, things that websites are made of.

    in Edge settings: edge://settings/clearBrowserData

    there is a separate check box called "Cookies and other site data"
    if you check that box and press the "clear now" button, then your cookies will be deleted.
