How to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac

There are a handful of situations when clearing Safari’s cookies or cache–one of the places where Safari stores website data to avoid having to download it afresh each time you access a site–can help improve your browsing experience.

The first is when websites simply stop working when you access them on Safari. Perhaps Facebook stops updating with new posts, for example, or the images on a site don’t appear as they should. If this happens, it’s likely the cache has become corrupted.

Alternatively, if you find that personal info automatically completed on sites isn’t correct, deleting cookies can help. These are small files that sites use to save data about you and what you do on the site.

Even if none of these problems affect you, periodically cleaning browser data can help protect your privacy from snoops who want to discover what you’ve been up to online. In this article, therefore, we explain how to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac.

We also have an article that explains How to clear cache on a Mac.

How to clear Safari cookies and cache for websites

Cleaning cookies and the cache data for individual sites can be done via Safari’s Settings/Preferences.

Open Safari
Click on Safari in the menu at the top of the screen.
Click on Settings or Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
Go to the Privacy tab.
Click on Manage Website Data…
Choose Remove All or select websites individually to remove.

After the data is loaded you’ll probably see a long list of websites. You can choose to Remove All or just select individual websites you want to remove from this list. If you want to select a number of different sites you can click on one and then press and hold the Command key to select a second, third or fourth and so on. We recommend that you don’t select hundreds this way – it’s better to delete in batches just in case you have to start over.

If you would prefer to select all and then deselect the ones you want to keep you can do so. Use Command + A to select all, then press and hold Command while clicking on any website you are happy to keep in this list. Just click Remove afterwards, not Done, as that will just undo all your hard work.

There’s a search field you can use to track down individual sites.

Bear in mind that deleting cookies might remove autocompleted login usernames and passwords for sites, and will almost certainly log you out of that site if you’ve configured it to automatically log in each time you visit.

How to clear Safari cache

The hidden Safari Developer menu can be used to clear just the cache, leaving cookies and the browser history in place. This is a very useful diagnostic step to take before removing those two items if a website behaves badly.

If you just want to clear all your cache you can do so by following these steps:

Open Safari.
Click on Safari in menu bar at top of screen.
Click on Settings/Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
Click on the Advanced tab.
Check the box beside Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.
Now there will be a new Develop tab in the menu at the top of your screen. Click on this.
Click on Empty Caches.

Alternatively click on Option/Alt + Command + E.

Close any open Safari windows and select Empty Caches on the Develop menu. Then click File > New Window to start Safari with a clean cache.

How to remove autocomplete data from AutoFill

Safari’s AutoFill tool can fill in username and password details on websites as well as credit card details and other elements like your address and email details.

This can be really useful, but it can also be annoying if the data it fills in is incorrect or out of context. It’s also a problem when AutoFill helpfully enters old or incorrect passwords or emails and addresses.

You can change this data, or delete it by following these steps:

Click on Safari.
Click on Settings/Preferences.
Choose the AutoFill tab.
Here you can edit contact information, usernames and passwords, credit cards and other data. Click on Edit beside the category you want access to.
You’ll need to enter your password or use Touch ID to gain access.

Delete incorrect data: If you are finding that Safari is autofilling incorrect data about you–your address, for example–click Edit beside Using information from my contacts. This will open up your Contacts app. Your card will be at the top or under My Card. You can add and amend data about you here.

Delete incorrect passwords and site logins: If you wanted to delete incorrect passwords, for example, you can just click on the Passwords tab. If you know which password you want to remove search for the website or service and then find the older password option (if there is more than one) and select it and then click on the – below the column to remove it. You can then select Delete Password. If that means there is no password saved for that website, you can then recreate the entry for the site by clicking the Add button. You’ll first need to provide the URL of the site (that is, something like https://facebook.com ), and then type the username and password alongside (hit the Tab key to move from field to field).

See: How to autofill passwords, bank cards, names and addresses for more.

Delete logins and passwords system-wide

Pruning site logins can also be done via the Keychain Access app, which you’ll find in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder, although you should be very careful using this app because it pretty much controls the entire security operation of your Mac! However, by removing errant username and password entries here you’ll stop virtually all of your Mac apps using them, and not just Safari.

Just type the name of the site into the Search field, and look in the list of results for entries of the kind Web Form Password. Right-click the entry and select Delete.

Manage cookies and website data

Websites often store cookies and other data on your Mac. This data may include information that you have provided, such as your name, email address, and preferences. This data helps websites identify you when you return so the site can provide services for you and show information that might be of interest to you.

By default, Safari accepts cookies and website data only from websites you visit. This helps prevent certain advertisers from storing data on your Mac. You can change options in Safari preferences so that Safari always accepts or always blocks cookies and other website data.

Open Safari for me

Important: Changing your cookie preferences or removing cookies and website data in Safari may change or remove them in other apps, including Dashboard.

Choose Safari > Preferences, click Privacy, then do any of the following:

Change which cookies and website data are accepted: Select a “Cookies and website data” option:

Always block: Safari doesn’t let any websites, third parties, or advertisers store cookies and other data on your Mac. This may prevent some websites from working properly.

Allow from current website only: Safari accepts cookies and website data only from the website you’re currently visiting. Websites often have embedded content from other sources. Safari does not allow these third parties to store or access cookies or other data.

Allow from websites I visit: Safari accepts cookies and website data only from websites you visit. Safari uses your existing cookies to determine whether you have visited a website before. Selecting this option helps prevent websites that have embedded content in other websites you browse from storing cookies and data on your Mac.

Always allow: Safari lets all websites, third parties, and advertisers store cookies and other data on your Mac.

Remove stored cookies and data: Click Remove All Website Data, or click Details, select one or more websites, then click Remove.

Removing the data may reduce tracking, but may also log you out of websites or change website behavior.

See which websites store cookies or data: Click Details.

Ask websites not to track you: Some websites keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. You can have Safari ask sites and their third party content providers (including advertisers) not to track you.

With this option turned on, each time Safari fetches content from a website, Safari adds a request not to track you, but it’s up to the website to honor this request.

How to clear history, cache, and cookies in safari on iphone or ipad.

We're going to assume that most How-To Geek writers know how to delete the history, cookies, and cache in Mobile Safari, but just in case you don't know, here is how to do it.

Open up the Settings app and find Safari in the left-hand list, and then scroll down the right side until you find the "Clear History and Website Data" button.

How to save passwords when clearing your cache

How to clear your Safari browser cache on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad

You can clear your cache on Safari in just a few steps on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
Clearing your cache, as well as history and cookies, can help resolve your device's performance issues.
Clearing your cookies will clear your passwords as well, unless you save them with keychain.

A cache is a store of data. When you visit a website on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the Safari browser keeps a snapshot of the pages you view.

If you go back to that website, Safari loads the cached page in an instant, instead of taking the time to retrieve the page from the internet again.

But an overloaded cache can take up storage space and cause your device to run inefficiently — and it could use a periodic clearing.

Here's what you need to know to clear your cache on Safari, as well as your cookies and browsing history.

How to clear Safari cache on Mac

You can either clear just your cache or your cache, history, and cookies.

Clear your cache

1. Click on the Safari tab at the top left of your screen and choose Preferences from the dropdown menu.

2. Click the Advanced tab of the menu that pops up.

3. At the end of the tab, select the Show Develop menu in menu bar box and close the Preferences menu.

4. Click the Develop tab from the Safari menu at the top of the page.

5. Click Empty Caches from the dropdown menu.

Clear your cache, history, and cookies

You may also want to clear your browsing history and cookies in addition to emptying your cache. Here's how to do that.

1. Choose the History tab at the top of your screen.

2. At the very bottom of the dropdown menu, choose Clear History.

3. A box pops up with a choice to clear the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all history. Choose your time frame and click the Clear History button.

Once you clear the history, it will also clear the cache and cookies associated with that time period.

How to clear Safari cache on iPhone or iPad

To clear your cache and browsing history:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap Safari .

3. Tap Clear History and Website Data .

4. On the screen that pops up, choose Clear History and Data .

To clear your cache but not your browsing history:

3. Tap Advanced .

4. Tap Website Data .

5. Choose Remove All Website Data .

What happens to saved passwords when you clear your cache

When you clear your cache, history, and cookies, you may discover that Safari has logged you out of your favorite websites.

While clearing Safari's cache alone will not delete your passwords, clearing your history and cookies can. That's because when you empty your cookies, you will lose their password data saved in Safari as well. And keep in mind that clearing your history also clears its associated cookies.

Luckily, Apple has a solution to this problem. If you use iCloud, check your iCloud settings on your phone or computer.

Make sure that you've checked the box for Safari. As long as this box is checked, any passwords you save through your browser will stay safe in your keychain .

What to Know

Safari: Settings > Safari > move Block All Cookies and Prevent Cross-Site Tracking sliders to off/white.
Chrome: Settings > Chrome > move Allow Cross-Website Tracking slider to on/green.
Cut down on intrusive advertising and tracking without disabling all cookies by using ad blockers.

Cookies are small files that websites add to your browser to improve your web browsing experience. This article explains how to enable cookies on the iPad in the Safari and Chrome web browsers.

How Do I Enable Cookies on an iPad?

Cookies are generally turned on by default, so in many cases, you won't need to enable them. So, if you haven't changed your cookie settings, you're all set! However, if you have ever changed your iPad privacy settings, you might have turned off cookies. If that's the case, follow these steps to enable cookies on an iPad:

Tap Settings .

Tap Safari .

Remember, cookies are added to your browser by websites, so you control this preference for each browser, not at the operating system level. Here's how to delete cookies if you need to.

Go to the Privacy & Security section. There are two cookie-related options:

Block All Cookies: This is pretty obvious. If the slider is set to on/green, Safari will block every cookie from every website. Move the slider to off/white and cookies are enabled on your iPad.
Prevent Cross-Site Tracking: This one is a bit trickier. These cookies are specifically for advertising. They don't generally provide the useful features some cookies offer. Cross-site tracking cookies are really just to help advertisers profile and target you . To allow every single cookie you encounter on the internet, leave this set to off/white. But, if you don't want to be profiled by advertisers, you can set this to on/green and still benefit from other kinds of cookies.

The second-most-popular iPad browser is Google Chrome. In Chrome for iPad, cookies are enabled by default and you can't disable them. The one cookie-related option you have in Chrome is to decide whether to let advertiser track you across sites . This is disabled by default, but you can allow it by going to Settings > Chrome > move the Allow Cross-Website Tracking slider to on/green.

What Are Browser Cookies?

As mentioned earlier, cookies are small files websites place on your device's web browser when you visit the site. These files can contain all sorts of information, including your preferences and history for that site. Cookies help connect to site traffic analytics and advertising platforms, and also make it easier to log in, save articles or products, and for the site to make recommendations to you.

Most people leave at least some cookies enabled on their devices, since browsing the web without any cookies at all makes the experience more difficult than it needs to be. Many privacy-conscious people, though, do block advertising cookies, since they see the amount of data advertisers try to collect on them and their online behavior as intrusive (because of this sort of use, cookies are being phased out ).

If you're concerned about your online privacy, we've got articles to help you block ads on your iPhone and iPad and to teach you about iPad and iPhone privacy settings .

To remove cookies from Safari on an iPad , go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data . From this screen, you can remove cookies and other data from an individual site by swiping left on its URL and choosing Delete . Alternatively, tap Remove All Website Data to clear everything at once.

You can clear website data in Chrome for iPad from inside the app. Select the More (three dots) menu, and then tap History . Choose Clear Browsing Data , and then make sure Cookies, Site Data has a checkmark next to it. Tap Clear Browsing Data again, and then confirm.

Additional Information About iPhone Cookies

Let’s talk about cookies. No, not the kind you eat with milk! I’m talking about the tiny pieces of data websites store on your device. If you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve probably seen messages about cookies popping up while browsing. So, what’s the deal? Are they good, bad, or just plain confusing? Let’s break it down.

A Crumbly Introduction to Cookies

Imagine walking into your favorite store and the salesperson remembers your name, what you last bought, and even your favorite color. It feels pretty special, right? That’s sort of what cookies do for websites. They help sites remember stuff about you, making your online experience smoother. When a website remembers your login details, shopping cart items, or settings, that’s cookies working their magic.

Why Would I Want to Allow Cookies on My iPhone?

Smooth Sailing : Websites use cookies to make things faster and easier. Hate typing in your username and password every single time? Cookies have your back!

Personal Touch : Ever noticed ads or content that seem like they were picked just for you? Cookies help websites tailor things to your taste.

Remember the Details : Whether it’s saving items in a shopping cart or keeping track of your progress in a game, cookies store these little details.

Sounds Great, But Are There Any Downsides?

Of course, like everything, cookies have a flip side. Sometimes, they can be a tad nosy. If you’re someone who values privacy, you might not like the idea of websites tracking what you’re up to. And let’s be real, nobody likes too many ads. Cookies can lead to a lot of personalized ads, which can sometimes feel overwhelming.

What happens if I block all cookies?

When you block all cookies, websites may not function as intended. You might need to sign in every time or some features might not work.

Can I choose which websites save cookies?

Yes! Safari on iPhone lets you choose which sites you trust. This is a middle ground between blocking all cookies and allowing them everywhere.

Do cookies harm my iPhone?

Cookies themselves are harmless. They’re just data. But, if a website is shady, it might misuse cookies. It’s always good to only allow cookies from sites you trust.

How often should I clear cookies from my iPhone?

Clearing cookies is like spring cleaning. You can do it whenever you feel your browsing is getting cluttered. Some folks do it monthly, while others, only when there’s an issue.

What’s the difference between cookies and cache?

While cookies store details about your interactions, cache is like a memory bank that helps websites load faster. They’re both there to make your life easier, but they do different things.

More About Cookies

For those who dive deep, there’s more to cookies than meets the eye. There are various types like session cookies, which vanish once you close your browser, and persistent cookies that hang around longer. Plus, there’s a difference between first-party cookies (from the site you’re on) and third-party cookies (from advertisers or others). You can even dive into settings on your iPhone to tweak these specifics if you’re feeling adventurous.

In conclusion, cookies on your iPhone can be friends or foes – it all depends on how you see them. They sure make life online easier, but if privacy is your jam, you’ve got controls in your hands. Either way, now you’re equipped with the knowledge to make an informed choice. So, to allow or not to allow? The cookie crumbles in your court!

How to Enable Cookies on an iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Enable cookies on iPhone, cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on your device to remember information about you. They can make your browsing experience easier by saving settings and preferences. However, some people prefer to disable cookies for privacy reasons.

If you want to allow cookies on your iPhone, either for certain sites or apps or globally, it just takes a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of enabling cookies on an iPhone using Safari, Chrome, and other apps.

What are Cookies and Why Do They Matter?

A cookie is a tiny text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It can contain information like login credentials, shopping cart items, or site preferences. When you return to that site, it will recognize your device and load the right settings for you.

Here are some examples of how cookies are beneficial:

Remembering login details – Cookies can store your usernames and passwords so you don’t have to re-enter them each time.
Shopping carts – The items you add to an online shopping cart are saved in a cookie. It allows the items to stay in your cart when you browse other pages.
Tracking website analytics – Cookies help websites understand traffic patterns and see which pages are viewed the most.
Serving relevant ads – Cookies assist advertisers with targeting ads based on your browsing habits and interests.

Of course, there are also privacy concerns with cookies. Your browsing history and behaviors could potentially be tracked. Some people like to disable cookies to limit the data shared. However, some website features may not work properly with them disabled.

Now let’s look at managing cookies on an iPhone.

Enabling Cookies in Safari on iPhone

Safari is the default web browser on iPhones.

Follow these steps to check your cookie settings:

Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll down and tap on Safari .
Under the Privacy & Security section, look for the Prevent Cross-Site Tracking option. Make sure this is toggled off.
Also under the Privacy & Security section, find the Block All Cookies option. Confirm this is toggled off.
Restart the Safari app for the changes to take effect.

With these settings configured, Safari will allow cookies to be set and read on your iPhone. Most sites will work normally and remember your login, shopping cart, and other details.

If you only want to accept cookies from certain sites, there is an additional setting:

In Safari, tap the aA icon in the search bar.
Select Settings .
Choose Block Cookies .
Switch Allow Cookies to From Current Website Only .

This will restrict cookies only to sites you explicitly approve. You can add specific exceptions under Allowed Websites too.

Managing Cookies in Chrome for iPhone

Chrome is another popular browser for iOS.

Here’s how to check cookie settings there:

Open the Chrome app.
Tap the More icon (the three dots in the bottom right).
Choose Settings .
Tap Cookies .
Make sure the Allow All Cookies option is enabled.

Chrome enables cookies by default. As long as you haven’t changed any settings, they should work normally in Chrome.

You can also block third-party cookies specifically:

Follow steps 1-3 above to get to Chrome’s Settings.
Choose Site Settings .
Select Cookies .
Turn on Block third-party cookies .

This will still allow cookies from sites you directly visit but block ad/tracking cookies from other domains.

Managing Cookies for Other Apps

The Settings app on your iPhone contains cookie settings that apply to all apps, not just Safari and Chrome. Here’s how to check them:

Open the Settings app.
Scroll down and select Privacy .
Tap on Cookies and Website Data .
Make sure the toggle for Allow Cookies is on.

Some apps may have their own cookie preferences in their settings as well. For example, in the Facebook app you can configure options for ad cookies. Check individual apps for additional cookie controls specific to that service.

Common Cookie-Related Problems and Solutions

Here are some troubleshooting tips for common cookie issues you may encounter:

Site asking you to enable cookies – If you see a warning on a site asking you to enable cookies to continue, double check the steps above to confirm your cookie settings in Safari and other apps.

Can’t log in to website – Stored login credentials are a common use for cookies. Make sure cookies are allowed globally or for that specific site.

Shopping cart keeps emptying – If items disappear from your online shopping cart, that’s a sign cookies are being blocked from that retailer’s domain. Add it to the exceptions list.

Ads seem irrelevant – Blocking third-party or cross-site tracking cookies will stop behavioral ad targeting, so you may see more generic ads.

Features like “Remember Me” don’t work – These convenience features rely on cookies to recall your device. Be sure to allow cookies from that domain.

Web pages not loading correctly – In some cases, pages may not display properly if required cookie data isn’t available. Try temporarily enabling all cookies.

Following the steps in this guide should resolve most common cookie issues. But if problems persist, try clearing your history and website data in your device settings to remove any corrupted cookies.

Frequently Asked Questions About iPhone Cookies

Here are answers to some common questions about managing cookies on an iPhone.

Q: Do I need cookies enabled for all websites to work properly?

A: Most websites require cookies in order to function fully. However, you can enable cookies on a site-by-site basis if you only want to allow them selectively.

Q: Are there cookies I should keep enabled at all times?

A: Cookies that store login credentials or shopping cart contents are useful to keep enabled. Third-party tracking cookies can usually be disabled without issues.

Q: Do Private Browsing and Incognito Mode block cookies?

A: Yes, any cookies created in a private browsing session are deleted after you close the session. They do not persist on your device.

Q: Should I be concerned about privacy with cookies enabled?

A: Cookies do allow you to be tracked to an extent, but disabling third-party/cross-site tracking provides more privacy. Use a VPN as well.

Cookies enable useful website features but also have privacy implications. Fortunately, iPhone makes it easy to find the right balance for your needs. The steps in this guide should help you manage cookies in Safari, Chrome, and other apps.

Be sure to keep cookie-dependent features like logins and shopping carts enabled. But limit third-party/cross-site tracking for better privacy. Check your cookie settings if you encounter issues with web pages not loading correctly. With the right configuration, websites will work properly while still preserving your browsing privacy.

How To Enable Cookies On Safari Browser

How-To Guides
Software Tutorials

Introduction

Welcome to our guide on how to enable cookies on Safari browser. In today’s digital era, cookies play an essential role in enhancing your browsing experience and personalizing the content you see on websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by websites you visit. They contain information such as your preferences, login credentials, and browsing history.

Enabling cookies on your Safari browser allows websites to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and offer a personalized experience tailored to your needs. By enabling cookies, you can enjoy smoother online transactions, targeted advertisements, and seamless website navigation. However, it’s crucial to understand how cookies work and how to enable them securely to protect your privacy online.

In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of enabling cookies on Safari. Whether you’re using your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the process is relatively similar across devices. So let’s dive in and unlock the full potential of your Safari browser!

What Are Cookies?

Before we learn how to enable cookies on the Safari browser, let’s take a moment to understand what cookies are and how they function. Cookies are small files created by websites you visit and stored on your device. They contain specific information about your browsing activities and preferences on that particular website.

Cookies serve multiple purposes, such as remembering your login details, personalizing your experience, and improving website functionality. They can be session-based, which are temporary and deleted once you close your browser , or persistent, which remain on your device for a longer duration.

The information stored in cookies can include your username, language preference, items in your shopping cart, and more. When you revisit a website, it can access the cookies stored on your device to remember your preferences, saving you time and effort.

It’s important to note that cookies do not contain personal information like your name, address, or contact details. They cannot harm your computer or access any data stored on it. Privacy concerns about cookies primarily arise from the potential tracking of your online activities by third-party advertisers.

By understanding how cookies work, you can make informed decisions about enabling them and adjusting your privacy settings to suit your needs. Enabling cookies can enhance your browsing experience by allowing websites to remember your preferences, personalize content, and provide you with more relevant information.

Now that we have a clear understanding of what cookies are, let’s explore how to enable them on your Safari browser.

Why Enable Cookies?

You may be wondering why it’s important to enable cookies on your Safari browser. By enabling cookies, you can unlock a multitude of benefits that enhance your online experience. Here are a few reasons why enabling cookies is beneficial:

1. Personalization: Cookies allow websites to remember your preferences and tailor the content you see based on your past interactions. This can lead to a more customized browsing experience, with recommendations and suggestions that are relevant to your interests.

2. Convenience: Enabling cookies saves you time and effort. For example, if you have items in your shopping cart and leave the website, cookies can retain your cart contents so that you don’t have to start from scratch when you return.

3. Remembering login details: Cookies can remember your login credentials, making it convenient for you to access your favorite websites without having to enter your username and password each time.

4. Site functionality: Many websites require cookies to function properly. Enabling cookies ensures that you can utilize all the features and functionalities that a website offers.

5. Targeted advertisements: Cookies enable advertisers to deliver more personalized and targeted ads. While this may raise concerns about privacy, it also means that you are more likely to see ads relevant to your interests, reducing the chance of irrelevant or repetitive advertisements.

6. Improved website performance: Cookies can help websites load faster and remember your preferences, resulting in a smoother and more efficient browsing experience.

While there may be valid reasons for disabling cookies in certain situations, enabling cookies on your Safari browser ensures that you can enjoy a seamless and personalized online experience. It’s worth noting that you have control over the types of cookies you allow and can customize your preferences to strike the right balance between personalization and privacy.

Now that we understand the benefits of enabling cookies let’s move on to the step-by-step process of enabling them on your Safari browser.

Step 1: Open Safari Browser

The first step in enabling cookies on Safari is to open the Safari browser on your device. Whether you’re using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the process begins by launching the Safari application.

If you’re using a Mac, you can find the Safari icon in your dock or by searching for it in the Applications folder. Simply click on the Safari icon to open the browser and proceed to the next step.

For iPhone and iPad users, locate the Safari app on your home screen, which is represented by a compass-like icon. Tap on the Safari icon to launch the browser and continue with the cookie enabling process.

If you’re using a Windows computer, Safari is no longer officially supported by Apple. However, if you have an older version of Safari installed, the process may be similar to the method described for Mac users. Otherwise, it’s recommended to use an alternative browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for Windows.

Once you have opened Safari, you’re ready to proceed to the next step and access the preferences settings to enable cookies.

Step 2: Access Preferences

After opening the Safari browser, the next step is to access the preferences settings. The preferences menu is where you can customize various settings, including those related to cookies.

To access the preferences on a Mac, click on the “Safari” option from the menu bar at the top of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select “Preferences.” Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut “Command + ,” (comma) to open the preferences window.

For iPhone and iPad users, tap on the “Settings” app on your home screen, then scroll down and find “Safari” in the list of apps. Tap on “Safari” to open its settings, and you’ll be directed to a page where you can configure various options.

Once you have accessed the preferences/settings, you’re ready to proceed to the next step: navigating to the privacy settings where you can enable cookies.

It’s important to note that the steps may slightly vary depending on the version of Safari and device you’re using. If you’re using an older version or a different operating system, the steps might differ, but the general process of accessing preferences will remain relatively similar.

Now that we have accessed the preferences/settings, let’s move on to the next step, where we will explore the privacy settings and enable cookies on Safari .

Step 3: Go to Privacy Settings

After accessing the preferences/settings in the Safari browser, the next step is to navigate to the privacy settings. In the privacy settings, you can make adjustments to your cookie preferences, including enabling or disabling them.

On a Mac, within the preferences window, click on the “Privacy” tab. This tab is typically represented by a padlock icon. By selecting this tab, you’ll be directed to the privacy settings where you can manage various privacy-related options, including cookies.

For iPhone and iPad users, within the Safari settings page, scroll down until you find the “Privacy & Security” section. Tap on this section to access the privacy settings, where you can adjust your cookie preferences and other privacy-related options.

In the privacy settings, you’ll typically find options to manage cookies, such as “Block all cookies,” “Allow from current websites only,” or “Always allow.” The exact wording may vary depending on the Safari version and operating system you’re using.

To enable cookies, select the option that allows cookies from all websites or allows cookies from the current website you’re visiting. This will ensure that websites can store and access cookies, providing you with a personalized browsing experience.

It’s worth mentioning that Safari also offers additional privacy features, such as “Prevent cross-site tracking” and “Ask websites not to track me.” These options are designed to enhance privacy by limiting tracking attempts by websites and advertisers. You can consider enabling these options based on your privacy preferences.

Once you have adjusted the privacy settings and enabled the appropriate cookie preferences, you’re ready to move to the next step and customize your cookie settings further, if desired.

Step 4: Enable Cookies

Now that you have accessed the privacy settings in Safari , it’s time to enable cookies. Enabling cookies allows websites to store and retrieve information, providing you with a personalized browsing experience. Here’s how to enable cookies on Safari:

1. In the privacy settings, look for the option related to cookies. It is typically labeled as “Cookies” or “Website Data”.

2. Select the option that allows cookies from all websites or enables cookies for the current website you’re visiting. This option may be named “Allow from websites I visit” or something similar.

3. Check if there are any additional settings related to cookies, such as “Always block” or “Never allow”. Ensure that these options are disabled to allow cookies to function properly.

4. After enabling cookies, you may need to exit the preferences/settings window for the changes to take effect. Close the preferences window by clicking “OK” or “Apply” to save your settings.

By following these steps, you have successfully enabled cookies on your Safari browser. Websites will now be able to store and retrieve information, enhancing your browsing experience.

Remember, enabling cookies comes with certain privacy considerations. It’s important to strike a balance between personalization and privacy by customizing the cookie settings to suit your preferences. Safari also provides options to clear cookies and website data, which can help you manage your online footprint and maintain privacy.

Now that you have enabled cookies on Safari, let’s proceed to the next step and explore how you can customize your cookie settings further, if desired.

Step 5: Customize Cookie Settings

Once you have enabled cookies on your Safari browser, you may want to further customize your cookie settings to align with your preferences and privacy concerns. While enabling cookies allows websites to store and retrieve information, you have control over how cookies are managed. Here’s how you can customize your cookie settings on Safari :

1. In the Safari preferences/settings, navigate to the privacy settings again.

2. Look for the “Cookies and website data” option. This option allows you to manage how Safari handles cookies.

3. Click on the option to open the cookie settings. You will typically find several options to manage cookies, including:

Always block: This option prohibits all websites from storing and accessing cookies.
Allow from current website only: This option restricts cookies to the website you are currently visiting and blocks other websites from storing cookies.
Allow from websites I visit: This option enables cookies from all websites you visit, providing a more personalized browsing experience.

4. Select the option that aligns with your preferences. You can choose to allow cookies from all websites, restrict them to the current website, or block cookies altogether.

Additionally, Safari offers options to manage other aspects of cookies and website data. You can choose to always ask for permission before allowing a website to store cookies, as well as customize settings for specific websites.

By customizing your cookie settings, you can maintain a balance between personalization and privacy online. Remember that adjusting these settings may impact your browsing experience, as some websites rely on cookies for essential functionality.

Now that you have learned how to customize your cookie settings on Safari let’s move on to the next step, where we will explore how to clear cookies and website data when needed.

Step 6: Clear Cookies and Website Data

Clearing cookies and website data can be useful for various reasons, such as improving browser performance, managing privacy, or troubleshooting issues. If you want to remove stored cookies and website data from your Safari browser, follow these steps:

1. Open the Safari preferences/settings by clicking on “Safari” in the menu bar for Mac users or accessing the Safari settings on iPhone and iPad.

2. In the preferences/settings window, navigate to the “Privacy” tab or find the “Privacy & Security” section for mobile devices.

3. Look for the option labeled “Manage Website Data” or “Remove All Website Data” and click on it.

4. A confirmation dialog will appear to verify if you want to remove the data. Click “Remove Now” or “Remove All” to proceed. Please note that this action will delete all cookies and website data stored in Safari.

5. After clearing the cookies and website data, you may need to exit the preferences window and restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

Clearing cookies and website data can help protect your privacy and ensure a fresh browsing experience. However, keep in mind that clearing cookies will sign you out of websites, and you may lose any saved preferences or personalized settings on those sites.

It is worth noting that Safari also provides options to selectively remove data for specific websites. Instead of removing all website data, you can click on “Details” or “Remove” next to individual websites and choose to remove their cookies and data selectively.

By periodically clearing cookies and website data, you can maintain a clutter-free browsing experience and have better control over your online privacy.

Now that you know how to clear cookies and website data on Safari, you are equipped with the knowledge to manage your browsing experience effectively.

In conclusion, enabling cookies on your Safari browser can greatly improve your online experience by personalizing content, saving preferences, and enhancing website functionality. By following the step-by-step guide provided in this article, you can easily enable cookies on Safari and adjust your cookie settings to suit your preferences.

Understanding what cookies are and why they are important allows you to make informed decisions about enabling cookies and managing your online privacy. While cookies offer convenience and personalization, it’s crucial to strike a balance between personalization and privacy by customizing your cookie settings.

Remember that Safari also provides options to clear cookies and website data. Regularly clearing cookies can help maintain browser performance and manage your online footprint. However, be aware that clearing cookies may sign you out of websites and remove saved preferences.

By enabling cookies and customizing your settings, you can enjoy a seamless browsing experience and benefit from personalized content and convenient features. It’s important to stay informed about privacy considerations and make choices that align with your preferences and needs.

We hope this guide has helped you enable cookies on Safari and customize your settings effectively. Enjoy the enhanced browsing experience and stay in control of your online privacy!

How to Enable and Allow Website Cookies on an iPhone or iPad

Table of Contents

Introduction

What are cookies, why website cookies are used, enable cookies in safari, enable cookies in chrome, allowing cookies on specific sites, controlling cookie tracking, expertise and experience.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device by websites you visit. They serve various purposes like remembering your site preferences, keeping you logged into sites, providing relevant ads, and tracking your online activity.

By default, iPhones and iPads block some types of cookies for privacy reasons. However, completely blocking cookies can cause issues with using certain websites properly. This article explains what cookies are, why they are used, and step-by-step instructions for enabling and allowing cookies on an iPhone or iPad.

Cookies are text files containing small pieces of data that websites store on your device. They are created when you visit a site and can be accessed again when you return to that site. This allows sites to “remember” things like:

Items in your shopping cart
Products you’ve viewed recently
Usernames and passwords to keep you logged in
Website preferences like layout, text size, etc.

Cookies set by the site you are visiting directly are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by advertisers, social media buttons, and other third parties embedded on a site are third-party cookies.

Here are some of the main reasons websites use cookies:

Convenience: Store login info, site preferences, shopping cart items, etc. to improve ease of use.
Personalization: Remember your activity to show relevant content, recommendations, custom layouts, etc.
Performance: Analyze site traffic and usage to optimize webpages.
Advertising: Enable ad targeting and analytics based on your browsing habits.
Social Media: Allow social media plugins to function properly.
Security: Enable security features like detecting fraudulent logins.

Completely blocking cookies can negatively impact convenience and features on many sites.

Enabling Cookies on iPhone and iPad

By default, Safari and most other browsers block some types of cookies automatically. Here are instructions for enabling cookies in Safari and Chrome browsers on an iPhone or iPad:

Open the Settings app
Scroll down and tap Safari
Go to the Privacy & Security section
Make sure Block All Cookies is turned OFF (white)
Restart the Safari app

Now Safari will accept cookies.

Open the Chrome app
Tap the More (3 dot) menu > Settings
Tap Cookies and make sure they are turned ON
Restart Chrome

Chrome also allows cookies now.

For other browsers, check their settings for a cookies section to enable.

If you enable blocking for third-party cookies, you may still need to allow them site-by-site for full functionality:

Visit the site and try to perform any action blocked by disabling cookies
When prompted, choose to Allow Cookies
Refresh the page and the site should work properly now

You can edit allowed sites under Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Manage Website Data

To limit cookie tracking while still allowing site functionality:

Turn ON Prevent Cross-Site Tracking in Safari
Enable Ask Websites Not to Track Me
Review Privacy Report to monitor cookie usage
Selectively delete cookies under Website Data

Also consider using a private browsing mode and VPN for browsing when you want to minimize tracking.

Completely blocking cookies prevents many sites from working properly, while allowing all cookies enables unlimited tracking of your browsing activity.

Carefully enabling cookies along with leveraging iPhone/iPad privacy settings strikes a good balance for usability and privacy. Monitor your Privacy Report and manage cookie access periodically for even more control.

How to clear the cache on your iPhone (and why you should)

How many tabs are open on your mobile browser right now? Go ahead, check -- you might be surprised by what you find.

Americans spend over five hours a day on their smartphones. That's over five hours of your phone potentially accessing, retrieving, and saving cache and cookies, which can negatively impact your iPhone's storage space .

What is cache?

Cache is the temporary storage of some data, like parts of a website from the last time you visited it, for example. Browser cache is content from a website that is stored on your phone during a browser session to help the browser execute faster the next time you visit that page.

Also: How to clear Google search cache on Android

Cache data can slow down your phone's overall browsing performance, however, since it takes up storage space on your device, so it's good to clear it out regularly. In this article, we mainly focus on clearing web browser cache on an iPhone, but you should know that other types of cache include mobile app cache and CPU cache.

How to clear cache on iPhone

What you'll need: Everything you need to clear your browser cache is within the iPhone's settings app or the Safari app, so grab your iPhone to get started.

Keep in mind that clearing the cache can clear private data, which can close all open tabs in Safari. This is also likely to log you out of all your websites, prompting you to sign in again the next time you open them.

How do I clear the cache from Chrome on iPhone?

If Google Chrome is your preferred browser, it may have a substantial amount of data stored on your device, which could also slow down performance.

To clear the cache in Chrome, open the Google Chrome app and follow these steps:

Tap Settings .
Go to Privacy and Security .
Select Clear Browsing Data .
Select the time from which to delete the data (if you want to delete all your browsing history, choose All Time ).
Go through the items you'd like to delete, like your Browsing History, Cookies and Site Data, Cached Images and Files, Saved Passwords , and Autofill Data.
Confirm by tapping Clear Browsing Data at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Done when you've deleted the Chrome cache.

Also: Apple releases iOS 17.4 with podcast transcripts, new emojis, and EU app store changes

Clearing the browsing and cache data in Google Chrome doesn't close all open tabs, but it will refresh each tab and log you out of websites. Once you tap on one of the tabs you want to access, you'll have to log back in.

How can I browse on Safari without history?

If you're learning how to clear cache on an iPhone, you may also be wondering if there's a way to use Safari without saving any browsing history. You can turn on Private Browsing by following these steps:

Open Safari .
Tap on Tabs .
Choose Private .

You can also enable private browsing by going to your iPhone Settings, finding Safari, and toggling on the private option.

How do I clear my app cache on my iPhone?

To clear the app cache from your iPhone Settings app, you can either delete the app and reinstall it, offload it, or try to clear the cache from within the app. Unfortunately, iOS apps don't have consistent settings across the board that would allow you to clear the cache of every app.

Also: Apple warns: Don't put your wet iPhone in rice. Do this instead

Apps like TikTok and CapCut, for example, have options to Clear Cache within their respective settings. Amazon lets users delete their browsing history, while the Reddit app can clear local history. It all depends on what the app's settings let you do.

Is "clear cache" the same as offloading?

Not exactly, though app offloading can help if your phone is slowed down by low storage. To offload an app means to uninstall an app without deleting any documents or data associated with it.

Also: Apple secures iMessage against threats from the future

To offload an app, go to Settings , then General , choose iPhone Storage and select the app to offload, then tap Offload App . If you ever download it again, you'll pick up where you left off for that app.

Are cookies and cache the same thing?

Cookies and cache are not the same. Cookies are data files that websites send to your phone, including things like saved passwords to keep you logged into an account or even the website preferences from the previous time you visited.

Also: I tested the best Mint alternatives, and this is my new favorite money app

Though they do sound harmless, cookies can also track how you browse the internet. They monitor patterns in your browsing and search history, even seeing what you clicked on or what your mouse hovered over. Ever made an innocuous search on Amazon only to find ads for it on all the apps you use? Cookies likely made that possible.

Can I block cookies on my iPhone?

While you can block cookies on Safari, the ranks are divided on whether you should. Blocking cookies entirely means that websites won't be able to get information from you, but it also means that some websites may not even work correctly on your browser. A lot of users actually enjoy a more personalized browsing experience, so cookies are a good thing for them.

If you'd like to block cookies in Safari, follow these steps:

Go to Settings and select Safari .
Tap on the toggle next to Block All Cookies .

There are also third-party extensions that help you block cookies and trackers in Google Chrome, like Ghostery and Disconnect .

How do I check iPhone storage?

On an iPhone, Settings can show you what's taking up most of your media storage, like photos, videos, and music. You can also see what each particular app's storage consumption is, which includes temporary data. To view the details of your iPhone's storage space, follow these steps:

Go to the iPhone Settings .
Tap on General .
Select iPhone Storage .
Scroll through to find the app you're looking for.
Tap on the app to view storage status and options.

Unfortunately, you can't clear your iPhone cache for third-party apps by going into your Settings app, but this gives you a visual of your iPhone's storage and the option to delete or offload apps.

Also: Here's the fastest way to declutter your iPhone and free up Gigabytes of space

When you look at your device's storage space, you'll probably see recommended steps you can take to optimize your iPhone's storage, like offloading unused apps.

Safari on Mac groups private and non-private tabs, while on iPhone it shows all tabs regardless of mode.
To use Private Browsing in Safari, identify it by a dark address bar, "Private" indicator, or "Private" next to the site URL.

Most browsers offer a private browsing mode that aims to keep the websites you view off the record. But what exactly does it do in Safari and how do you get the best out of it?

First and foremost, Private Browsing keeps the website pages you visit out of your History . The aim is to prevent someone else from seeing which pages you have visited if they have access to your phone or computer.

In Safari, Private Browsing does a lot more than just hide URLs. It also:

Prevents recent searches from showing up in your history.
Stops remembering details you enter in forms for autofill.
Keeps downloaded items from appearing in your Downloads list.
Locks private tabs after a period of inactivity.
Adds tracking and fingerprinting protection.

However, it’s important to note that Private Browsing does not stop you from being tracked altogether. Websites you visit will still be able to use various methods to track you, and will still have access to all data that you send them.

On macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, Safari groups private tabs together, and separates them from non-private tabs. On Mac, each Safari window is either private or non-private, and can have as many tabs as you want.

On iPhone, you can switch between private and non-private modes, each of which shows all tabs belonging to that mode.

You can spot when you’re viewing a private tab with these signs:

The address bar has a dark background. This may be less noticeable if you’re using Dark Mode .
On Mac, you’ll see a prominent Private indicator in the title bar.
On iPhone, you’ll see Private alongside the site URL at the bottom of your screen.

The steps to enter Private Browsing mode are nearly identical on an iPhone and iPad. The only difference is that the tab icon is at the bottom of the screen on iOS and the top on iPadOS.

Long-press the tab icon (two overlapping pages) on the bottom-right (iPhone) or top-right (iPad) of your screen.
Tap the New Private Tab menu item.
If locked, enter your passcode to unlock Private Browsing.

You can enter Private Browsing mode on macOS using either a menu item or a keyboard shortcut:

Open the File menu and choose New Private Window .
Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Cmd + n .
Use the browser as you normally would. Any tabs you open from this window will open in the same window, in private mode.

You may want to prevent users of an iPhone or iPad from using Private Browsing mode at all. To do so:

Open the Settings app.
Tap on Screen Time .
Under RESTRICTIONS , click on Content & Privacy Restrictions .
If not already enabled, press the toggle next to Content & Privacy Restrictions to enable.
Tap Content Restrictions .
Change the Web Content setting to Limit Adult Websites .

The option to enter private mode will now be gone.

On macOS, the wording of certain options differs slightly, but the overall process is near-identical to iOS:

Open System Settings via the Apple menu.
Click on Screen Time in the left panel.
Under the Restrictions section, click on Content & Privacy .
Click Content Restrictions .
Change the Access to Web Content setting to Limit Adult Websites .

Private Browsing will now be unavailable in Safari, although any existing private windows will stay open.

Of course, anyone can re-enable Private Browsing using the same process, in reverse. However, you can use Screen Time’s Lock Screen Time Settings option to set a passcode and enforce the setting permanently.

Google has delayed killing third-party cookies from Chrome (again)

Now the company says it’ll happen next year..

Google keeps promising to phase out third-party cookies on Chrome but not actually doing it. The company vowed to deprecate cookies back in 2020 , pushing the date back to 2023 and then 2024. We did get some traction earlier this year , when Google disabled cookies for one percent of Chrome users , but those efforts have stalled. Now, the company says it won’t happen until next year .

It’s easy to drag Google for this but it’s not entirely in the company’s hands. The tech giant is working closely with the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to ensure that any tools it implements to replace the cookie’s tracking and measurement capabilities aren’t anti-competitive. These tools are known collectively as the Privacy Sandbox and Google says it has to wait until the CMA has had “sufficient time to review” results from industry tests that’ll be provided by the end of June.

Google’s Privacy Sandbox has stirred up some controversy in recent years. The proposed tools have drawn complaints from adtech companies, publishers and ad agencies, on the grounds that they are difficult to operate, don’t adequately replace traditional cookies and give too much power to Google. To that end, the company said that it recognizes “ongoing challenges related to reconciling divergent feedback from the industry, regulators and developers.” This is another reason given for the delay until next year.

The CMA isn’t the only regulatory agency giving the side-eye to the current iteration of these Privacy Sandbox tools. The UK-based Information Commissioner’s Office drafted a report that indicated these tools could be used by advertisers to identify consumers, as suggested by the Wall Street Journal .

Those in the ad industry want to see cookies given the heave-ho, despite complaints about Privacy Sandbox. Drew Stein, CEO of adtech data firm Audigent , told Engadget that it’s time for Google “to deliver on the promise of a better ecosystem” by implementing its plans to eliminate third-party cookies.

The CMA, on the other hand, has indicated a willingness to keep third-party cookies in play, particularly if Google’s solution does more harm than good. Craig Jenkins, the CMA’s director of digital markets, recently said the organization would delay implementation of Privacy Sandbox tools if “we’re not satisfied we can resolve the concerns”, as reported by Adweek . We’ll see what happens in 2025.

How To Use Delta Emulator and Play Nintendo Games on iOS

While emulators are legal in the U.S., ROMs are a bit more complicated.
The Delta app requires iOS 14 or later.
The app is also available for iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.

Gamers, your time is here: the Delta emulator app is now available for iOS, and with it arrives a wealth of emulation and features. This expansive app hosts an impressive selection of classic video game consoles, providing the ability to play thousands of retro games on your iPhone. Below, I’ll show you everything you need to know to start gaming.

What to Know About the Delta Emulator

Apple finally eased restrictions on emulators, and Delta is the second Apple-approved option to be officially listed on the App Store. What I love about it is that it’s 100% free. You can play a wide variety of retro Nintendo games without having to sit through ads—note that very few free emulators offer an ad-free experience. You can learn more about the Delta emulator here .

What Emulators Are Available on the Delta App?

The following emulators (game systems) are available through the Delta app:

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Nintendo Entertain System (SNES)
Nintendo 64
Game Boy and Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo DS

How To Get Nintendo DS Games on Delta Game Emulator?

While every emulator available within the app works as is, there are specific BIOS files that you’ll need for the Nintendo DS emulator. I can’t link to them for copyright reasons, but you can easily find them on any search engine. After you download the necessary files, remember to select Save to Files from the Share menu.

The BIOS files needed for the Nintendo DS emulator are as follows:

firmware.bin

Time needed: 2 minutes

Once you’ve downloaded these files, adding them to the Delta emulator is easy—here’s how:

From here, the Nintendo DS emulator will be fully operational. However, note that you may need to use iTunes File Transfer to add games—DS ROMs are typically several gigabytes large. Downloading them through your iPhone may be a hassle, so I’ll cover this more below.

How to Download ROMs for the Delta Emulator

Again, pirating officially licensed games breaks copyright laws, so I won’t be linking to them. However, homebrew games, and even some ROM hacks, are typically okay to share. Places like Homebrew Hub can have a library of legal, independently created games to play.

ROMs will either be in a compressed file (such as .ZIP) or a rather obvious file extension (.GBA for a Game Boy Advanced game, for example). I’ve had no problems importing both, but mileage may vary on compressed files. Should one give you issues, try extracting the file.

With that in mind, there are two primary ways to add ROMs to the Delta app: either through iTunes/Folder or the iOS Files app. Let’s take a look at both, as one can be easier than the other.

1. Adding ROMs Via the iOS Files App

Personally, this is the easiest way to add ROMs since it doesn’t require a computer. However, guiding your ROM downloads to the right place can be tricky.

For this how-to guide, I’ll download the game Sips from Homebrew Hub.

First, navigate to the Homebrew Hub page for Sips .
Scroll down and click Download Rom .

This method can be spotty depending on the browser you use, so make sure the ROM file makes its way to your Files app.

2. Adding ROMs Using iTunes

This method may be easier for those who have a hard time downloading ROMs directly on their iPhone, although you’ll have to use a Mac or PC. Let’s take a look.

First, download the ROM.
Next open iTunes .
Navigate to the iPhone icon.
Select File Sharing from the left-hand column.
Click the Delta app and then Drag and Drop the ROMs you want into this section.

3. Adding ROMs Using Finder

If your Mac is running macOS Catalina or later, you’ll need to use Finder.

Connect your iPhone to your Mac, then select your iPhone from a Finder window.

As you can probably tell, it’s pretty easy to add ROMs to the Delta app once you have the files in the correct location. The hardest part is probably getting them there.

How to Add Emulator Skins

One of the cooler features of Delta is it lets you change emulator skins. This is really easy to do, plus you can find tons of skins on sites like Delta GitHub . Adding skins is similar to adding ROMs, so again, ensure the skins are in your Files folder.

You can now select the imported skin/s on Delta.

How to Remap Controllers in Delta

If you need to remap a controller, simply follow these steps:

Select NES to open the drop-down menu and choose the controller you want to edit.
Now, tap the button you want to change and press a button on the physical controller to remap it.

Controllers Supported By Delta App

The Delta app will support any third-party controller that works with iOS. However, here are some popular examples:

Nintendo Switch Online Controller
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Xbox Wireless Controller (Series X and S)
Xbox Adapter Controller
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth Model 1708
Playstation 4 and 5 Wireless Controllers

Adding a controller is usually as simple as navigating to Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone, checking if the controller is discoverable, and then selecting it from the Other Devices list.

Additional Controls and Options

Once a game is running, you can open an additional menu that lets you fast-forward through scenes, hold down buttons, and even enable cheats. You’ll see this menu on the main screen while playing. It’s also where you’ll find your options to save and load games. You can save games within emulators, although I suggest using the Delta app’s Save function—it’s more reliable and accurate. Take a look around this section to see what you find.

While Android users may laugh over Apple slowly entering the world of emulation, the fact is it’s never too late to start. You may also want to know about the best Playstation 2 emulators for iOS .

Pairing of Oreo and Sour Patch Kids candies produces new sweet, tart cookies

Oreo cookies have been double stuffed, filled with confetti, space-inspired popping candy, and even ground-up oreos. now the cookies will be infused with sour patch kids' flavors..

The newest Or eo mashup may leave a sour taste in your mouth. A Sour Patch Kids taste, that is.

New limited-edition Oreo Sour Patch Kids cookies are available for pre-order starting Wednesday, April 24 online on Oreo.com . The new flavor will hit stores May 6 ($4.50 online; $5.29 in stores).

The cookies resemble Oreo Golden Cookies but both the cookie and creme filling have Sour Patch Kids flavors and colors, "creating a sweet yet sour taste, inspired by Sour Patch Kids," touts a press release about the new coo k ies .

This isn't the first colorful Oreo offshoot. Earlier this year, Oreo unveiled Oreo Space Dunk cookies with blue and pink "cosmic creme" marshmallowy filling with popping candy particles mixed in.

“The Oreo brand is always looking for playful ways to excite our fans. What better and more unexpected way to do that than letting Sour Patch Kids playfully takeover our cookie?!” said Caroline Suppiger, Oreo senior associate brand manager, in a statement.

Sour Patch Kids, like Oreos, are a product of Mondelēz International .

“The opportunity to partner with our friends at the Oreo brand to create a mischievous twist on a classic cookie was one we just couldn’t pass up," said Grace Howard, Sour Patch Kids innovation brand manager, in the release. "We are both so excited to see the fan reaction to this sour-then-sweet limited-edition cookie.”

You can eat Oreo Sour Patch Kids cookies and wear the gear

Super fans of Oreos and Sour Patch Kids can don their devotion with some exclusive merchandise sporting brand iconography with images of cookies, fruits and the "kids."

Options include a crewneck shirt, jogging pants, bucket hat, socks and more; they become available May 2 on oreo.com while supplies last.
