Yandex Browser is one of the popular browsers that Windows 10 users work with. In this article we will tell you how to clear the cache in Yandex on Windows 7 and 10 in different ways.
First, let's look at what a cache is and why a cache is needed in browsers. These are temporary files saved in the browser that allow the site to load faster when you log in again.
Cookies save your personal settings on the site, for example, language, currency, font size, items in the basket. Cookies can be temporary or permanent. The type of cookies used on the site determines how often the user will be asked for login information. For example, on one site we will constantly enter our login and password, while other sites will even allow us in a couple of weeks without manual authorization. The developer chooses which cookies to use on the resource. The user cannot influence this. Some cookies are used to prevent spam and fraud. For example, they can confirm that requests during a session are made by the user and not by other sites or robots. These cookies prevent malicious sites from performing actions on behalf of the user without the user's knowledge.
While both elements make browsing the Internet easier, they can accumulate and disrupt your browser. Therefore, they sometimes need to be cleaned. Below we will give some instructions on how to do this.
