What happens after you clear this info

After you clear cache and cookies:

• Some settings on sites get deleted. For example, if you were signed in, you’ll need to sign in again.
• If you turn sync on in Chrome, you’ll stay signed into the Google Account you’re syncing to in order to delete your data across all your devices.
• Some sites can seem slower because content, like images, needs to load again.

How cache & cookies work

• Cookies are files created by sites you visit. They make your online experience easier by saving browsing data.
• The cache remembers parts of pages, like images, to help them open faster during your next visit.

These can pose as random scam or product deal notifications that are meant to tempt you to click on them. You don't normally need to enable site notifications, but to change these settings in Chrome you can reference Google's guide: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3220216?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&oco=0#zippy=%2Cblock-pop-ups-from-a-site
