Brave Browser Cache cookies and privacy: troubleshooting guide
Find practical guidance for brave browser cache cookies and privacy problems on supported devices. Start with low-risk checks and preserve your personal data before making changes.
Before you begin
Make a note of your device, browser version, exact symptoms, and any displayed error. If your browser contains important unsynced passwords, bookmarks, or open work, back them up before resetting settings or clearing data.
Step-by-step checks
- Try the affected site in a private window to isolate saved site data.
- Check whether cookies or tracking protections are blocking the site.
- Clear data for the affected website first rather than deleting all browsing data.
- Review site permissions for camera, microphone, notifications, and location.
- Sign in again if cookies were cleared, and avoid turning off protections globally.
If the problem continues
Test whether the issue happens in a second browser, a private window, or a separate trusted network. This helps distinguish a browser problem from a website, device, or internet problem. Avoid disabling certificate warnings, antivirus protection, or company policies just to make a page load.
