The frequency of clearing cookies depends on personal browsing habits and privacy concerns. For most users, clearing cookies every few weeks or months is sufficient to maintain privacy and optimize browsing performance. However, individuals who prioritize privacy may choose to clear cookies more frequently, such as after each browsing session, to minimize tracking and data collection by websites.
