How to delete cookies and cache in Safari on Mac

Cookies and cache are your friends in most cases. These are files that are saved directly to the Safari browser when you visit almost every website today. This ensures that if you connect to the same page again in the future, you won't have to re-download all the data needed to display the page. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that the browser cache gets corrupted. You can most often notice this when your pages stop displaying correctly. For example, on Facebook, your comments, images, etc. will no longer be displayed correctly. Cache is also responsible for the browser remembering your login information, which can be dangerous in public places. Well, if none of the above cases is not a problem for you, it is still recommended to clear the cache with cookies from time to time, mainly to increase the speed of browsing websites. So how to do it?
