Cookies are useful for remembering passwords, if the site itself offers to
remember them and not the browser, or just to remember who you are.
They're also quite essential in maintaining a stateful session with a
server so that you don't have to tell it who you are every time you hit a
button.
Hi everybody, what does resetting Safari actually accomplish? When
would I do a reset? Lately I have noticed my Safari being a little
confused, trying to tell me the website cannot be found while at the
same time the website appears. It also seems a lot slower at times.

It mainly saves a bit of diskspace and wipes out some personal information
that you might want to be seen.
I've recently noticed that Safari often claims a site can't be found, but
on hitting refresh it happily finds it. Am unsure if it's an issue with my
DNS server or with Safari itself. It
Marta,
I won't know it all, but the reset wipes out your footprints of all
history, it empties the cache, it empties the cookies, it really takes
you back to a fresh beginning. I do it ever so often, don't know it I
need to.
