Web browsers store **cache** (temporary files) and **cookies** (site data) to speed up browsing and remember your preferences. While helpful, these can sometimes cause issues — for example, showing outdated versions of your website after updates or interfering with login sessions. Clearing them ensures you see the most recent version of your site and helps resolve many common browser-related problems.
