One of the simplest ways to increase security and guard your privacy is clearing out caches on your web browsers. The cookies and other site data that is stored in your browser can be used across different websites revealing personal information and aiding in marketing ads, site tracking, and other activities you have done on that web browser until the cookies and site data are removed. Other benefits besides security include fixing browser errors, site speed, and overall performance of your web browser.
To do this properly on an iPhone to clear your history and cookies, go to Settings > Safari, and tap Clear History and Website Data. Clearing your history, cookies, and browsing data from Safari won't change your AutoFill information.
For Google Chrome click the three circles in the top right-hand corner select more tools > clear browsing data > click on the advanced tab > select time range All time > finally check off everything except passwords and other sign-in data as you want to keep those as it makes it easy to log into websites. For Google Chrome we recommend doing this every day or if you have visited a malicious site immediately after. By cleaning up your cookies and cache you keep your privacy.
