Macintosh and macOS owners/users commonly utilize browsers such as Opera and Chrome. Removing cookies in macOS is basically the same as using a PC and Windows OS. Lessons learned from the earlier posts in this series still help these users of Chrome and Opera on their macOS computers.

1. Click on the settings icon in the upper-right of the command bar. It looks like a gear.
2. Click on ‘Preferences’.

5. Click on ‘Remove Now’.
For more control, follow steps 1-3 above, then:
