Where are cookies located in Yandex. Disabling cookies in Yandex Browser


Cookies are pieces of data that are stored on a computer and used by the browser to record information coming from web servers. The capabilities of such text files allow you to repeatedly visit sites without re-entering your login and password for authorization (login to the site will be performed automatically).

In online stores, cookies track user actions by storing the names of products placed in the “cart”. When you move to a new web page, information about the marked products remains - thus, cookies work on any site. As an example, let's try to enable cookies in Yandex Browser.

Enabling cookies

Thanks to your browser settings, you can activate cookies if they are inactive. This is done as follows (using the example of Yandex Browser):

  • In the upper right corner of the browser you need to click on the gear icon (settings menu);
  • In the menu that opens, select “Settings”;
  • Then in the new window click “Show additional settings”;
  • In the “Personal Data Protection” section you need to select “Content Settings”;
  • In the “Cookies” window that appears, you must check the “Accept all” box.

Clearing cookies in Yandex Browser

When there are too many files, your computer can slow down noticeably, so periodically you need to clear cookie fragments and browser cache:

  • In the upper right corner you need to click on the gear icon;
  • Then select “Tools”;
  • In the window that appears, select “Delete data about viewed pages”;
  • Check the boxes next to “Clear cookies and other data from sites and modules” and “Clear cache” (if necessary). After this, you need to click “Clear history”.

Features of cookies

Saved data from web pages simplifies a lot of things:

  • Remember the entered data (during registration and authorization);
  • Save individual user settings on each server (location, time zone, page design, etc.);
  • Sometimes they serve to provide information to advertisers (to compile statistics, for example, buyers in online stores).

Each browser can remember cookies - pieces of data that it receives from website servers, and then stores them. With each subsequent visit to a site where cookies have been stored, the browser sends this data back to the server. This happens for several reasons, and two of them are useful for the user: fast authentication is carried out and all the user’s personal settings are instantly loaded. Yandex.Browser can also store or not store cookies - this function depends solely on the preferences of the user.

Enabling cookies in Yandex Browser

Some users may disable cookies for a certain period of time for various reasons. But without them, working online will not be as comfortable: you will not be able to automatically log into your own accounts on sites after restarting the web browser, save their settings, and sites will not be able to interact with your location.

  1. In order to enable cookies back in Yandex.Browser, just go to it "Settings".

  2. Switch to category "Sites" and select "Advanced site settings".

  3. Scroll down the page to the block "Cookies". There are several possibilities for working with them. The browser itself recommends enabling the storage of cookies, but you can choose other options. The first three parameters are optional, but here is the option “Block data and files from third-party sites” is meant as an additional option, and may be marked with a check mark.

  4. You will also see a link button "Site Settings".

  5. Permanently permitted, per-session, and prohibited cookies will be stored here. You can manage them directly while on the page of any website - this way, in the future, you can create a list of cookies that will be accepted/rejected by the web browser.

  6. To manage files for a specific site, click on the icon in the address bar, which is located to the left of the site name, and follow the link "More details".

    7. If you are unable to use a site or it is notifying you that cookies have been disabled, be sure to check the "Blocked"- You may have mistakenly rejected the site's request to save cookies.

  7. IN "Permissions" the first line will be a link with the number of accepted cookies for this site.

  8. If you click on it, you will see the categories of cookies that you can work with: view, delete, block (only the groups themselves are supported, and not each file individually). The same data can be edited in the menu, which we described in 2 steps above.

  9. Second link button "Cookies and Site Data" less functional.

  10. It only involves viewing the cookies stored on your computer and deleting them one by one or all at once.

Now you know how to enable cookies on all sites or selectively and manage exceptions.

Cookies (translated from English as “cookies”) are a small piece of data sent by the server to the user’s computer and stored in the latter’s browser. Cookies have a whole list of purposes:

    • User recognition (i.e. saving data about the user’s visit to a particular Internet resource);
    • Storing the user’s settings and personal data (the next time you visit the site, you log in automatically, without confirming a password, and the settings used are saved);
    • User activity tracking;
    • Maintaining statistics about all users visiting a particular site, collecting personal data about users.

Since the advent of cookies in browsers (Internet Explorer, 1998), fierce debates and discussions have flared up around them, and in some countries (such as the USA), a number of restrictions have been introduced on their use. The thing is that with the help of cookies you can easily track user preferences and “spy” on their personal lives. Cookies are not an independent program, nor a virus, but a test addition that allows the browser to reduce the time it takes to request information and avoid confirming the user’s identity, which, again, entails time costs.

  1. The Yandex browser allows saving cookies by default (i.e., from the moment the browser is installed, it intensively collects cookies from all sites).
  2. To configure the processing of cookies, you must select the “Settings” item.
  3. At the bottom of the window that appears, select “advanced settings”.
  4. Among the list of additional settings you can easily find the “data protection” block and the “content settings” item
  5. In the Cookies section you must set the following parameters (see photo)
  6. Ready

If you need to clear cookies, you must perform the following sequence of actions:

  1. Select the “settings” item.
  2. Next is the “additional” item.
  3. “Clear history” item.
  4. Then you need to select the time for which you want to delete cookies (see photo)
  5. There you must select the item “cookies and other site data”
  6. Click “clear history”.
  7. Ready.

Cookies store data from certain websites that is recorded by the browser. Every time you visit a site whose cookies have been stored in the browser’s memory, the browser sends a cookie back to the site. But when it closes, it accepts new ones.

Can cookies affect your browser?

With the help of cookies, sites whose data is recorded in these files will load faster, but the overall performance of the browser itself may decrease. This is especially true when the computer hardware is very weak and the amount of data in cookies is very large.

Based on this, it is recommended to clear cookies once every certain period of time, or even disable them in your browser. But if you choose the latter option, then a small percentage of sites that require these files may begin to function incorrectly.

Step 1: Disable cookies

At this stage, you will need these instructions:

  1. Open "Settings" Yandex Browser. To do this, click on the three-bar element in the upper right part of the window. Then select the item from the context menu "Settings".


  2. Scroll to the end of the page with basic settings and click on the inscription "Show advanced settings".


  3. In the block "Personal data" click on the button "Content Settings".


  4. A window will open where under the title "Cookies" you need to put a marker next to one of the points: "Don't allow sites to save data" or “Block data and cookies from third party sites”.


  5. In the latter case, you can add some sites to exceptions. This way you can work with those resources that need to save cookies. However, other sites will not store their data without your permission. To add exceptions, use the button "Exception Management".


  6. Here, using a special line, you can add a site or its page to the allowed list. To apply changes use the button "Ready".

Step 2: Removing remaining cookies

This procedure can be done in several ways, for example, using special cleaning programs or removing "Stories" in the browser. However, it is recommended to use one standard method if there are not many cookies stored in the browser:


If there are too many files and manually deleting each of them will take a long time, then use the following instructions:


As you can see, there is nothing complicated about disabling cookies in Yandex Browser. In addition, it is worth considering that the last step is optional, but it is recommended to do it if the browser begins to slow down due to accumulated cookie data.

Have you ever wondered why, when you log into any web resource, you don’t have to log in again (enter your username and password)? This is done by cookies that are stored in your browser. But if you just go to the site in Yandex Browser every time like for the first time, then this may indicate that cookies are disabled in your browser settings. In this article you will learn how to activate cookies in Yandex Browser.


Cookies (English “cookies”) or in Russian simply cookies are small records that are created in the browser by the web resource server. These records (text files) contain information about your credentials for entering the site (login and password), personal settings, visit statistics, etc. I.e. Cookies allow you to be identified as a user of the site.

There have always been and will continue to be serious disputes regarding cookies. There is an opinion that cookies can harm the system and reduce the speed of the computer. But in fact, cookies are an extremely useful feature that makes life much easier for users.

By default, cookies are enabled in Yandex Browser, but some users, having heard enough “horrors” about cookies, are in a hurry to disable them. After some time, users grab their heads, because on absolutely all resources they have to log in with their account every time. Therefore, many take the opposite decision: enable cookies.
