Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuI was advised to delete cookies as I am not computer literate/expert I did not understand what this means. I know in the tools option it states delete cookies but I was nervous in selecting this ;D If I select this what are outcomes etc etc  Can you advise further as I am sure there are alot of sisters (especially) who are not aware of these cookies (except chocolate cookies ;D) Jazakallah khair
