Hi,
under Settings/Privacy/Cookies and Site Data/Manage data we can see site per site
- how many cookies are currently existing
- and how much storage
but I cannot understand what this "storage" includes.
Let me explain :
As soon as you open New York Times website (www.NYTimes.com), you can see there 12.4Mo of storage for nytimes.com.
But if, thanks to Web Developer tools (Ctrl+Maj+I) I delete
- all cookies relative to this website
- and all cache storage
- and all IndexedDB
- and all Local Storage
- and all Session storage
and then close the tab opened on nytimes.com, and purge all cache, settings/manage data still says 10.6Mo for nytimes.com !!
This is obviously not only relative to nytimes.com, but most of the websites I browse have the same. I choose the example of nytimes.com to be very specific, and because it's a site anybody can browse, and the amount of "unknown storage" is very large.
What are these data, if they are not any of the above categories ?
Where are they stored ?
What are they useful to ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
