A cookie is a piece of data that a site enters on your device, so that it can remember you when you visit the website again. To choose whether or not Safari blocks cookies, head to Settings > Safari, and then turn on the setting that says Block All Cookies.

However, keep in mind that if you block cookies, some web pages might not work. For example, you might not be able to sign in to a site even after using your correct username and password, or you might view a notification message that cookies are needed or that your browser’s cookies are off.
