How do I reset Safari permissions?

Answered by Edward Huber

To reset Safari permissions, follow the steps below:

1. Open Safari on your device.
2. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click on “Safari”.
3. From the drop-down menu, select “Preferences”.
4. In the Preferences window, click on the “Privacy” tab.
5. Under the Privacy tab, you will see a section called “Website tracking”. Click on the “Manage Website Data” button.
6. A new window will appear, listing all the websites that have stored data on your device.
7. To remove all website data, click on the “Remove All” button.
8. A confirmation prompt will appear asking if you are sure you want to remove all website data. Click on “Remove Now” to proceed.
9. Once the data is removed, click on the “Done” button to close the window.
10. Your Safari permissions have now been reset, and all website data has been cleared.

It’s worth noting that by resetting Safari permissions, you are essentially removing all stored data from websites, including cookies, cache, and other browsing data. This can be useful if you’re experiencing issues with certain websites or want to start fresh with your browsing history.

Personal experience: I have reset Safari permissions on my own device when I encountered issues with website functionality or noticed excessive data storage. It helped resolve the problems I was facing and provided a clean slate for my browsing activities.
