What Software To Use To Remove Cookies

I'm looking for software to safely remove cookies put on my phone (I just went to a dictionary site and it immediately gave notification that it's putting cookies on the phone). My first thought was to use CCcleaner but I saw there is considerable concern about its safety (malware) and also damage its cleaning may do to the phone's files. Does anyone have experience with Avast/AVG Cleaner Pro/Cleanup Boost (I'm already using Avast Mobile Security)?

I use SD Pro maid to clean out everything, but my browsers I have to manually shut down all the windows...

what browser are you using? most browsers should have an option within its settings.
 
Those Cookie consent pop-ups are another stupid EU directive that somehow gets enforced in the U.S. (I want the EU to go back to whatever hole it crawled out of) but cookies are harmless. A cookie has been part of the internet since dial-up. It's what stores any login info for any website. Going nuts and trying to delete them is a waste of time. You might as well be deleting rundll32.exe from Windows since it always runs in the background for seemingly no reason.

As for CCleaner, Cheetah Mobile, an infamous developer known for questionable data tracking for China, had bought them out like they did ES File Explorer, QuickPic Gallery, and many, many other apps. They're actually banned from the Play Store (and Galaxy Store--which is telling! Samsung hardly polices that store). Only Windows still has it available. I think Cheetah's site actually lists their crApps as APKs for any schmuck to download.
