Erase Browser Cookies & Browser Data<\/b><\/h3>\n

A computer cookie is a small file containing a modest amount of data, retrieved by a website for tracking preferences and non-personal information about a particular user. A cookie, which has something to do with the working of your web browser, neither poses any privacy threat nor retains any crucial security, banking information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to the point, <\/span>Facebook<\/b> cookie files stored on your local machine, at times, get corrupted. When something goes wrong while accessing, overwriting old cookie files, it results into mass corruption of data and as a result, <\/span>Facebook<\/b> videos load a lot slower.<\/span><\/p>\n
