Good thing I just load off the exe files of the games hahahahaha
But seriously I wonder why that amount of cookies stored is necessary. HmmmmâŚ

Epicâs website is very benign. Cookie size is ânormalâ. Has never once had any trackers or anything that I would flag as dodgy. Is it the Yellow Peril again?

Is that just cookies though? Or pre-saved site data? like images and such?

indeed, it says site data, not just cookies.

Iâm ignorant of the finer details but wouldnât that be the same for everyone (iâve visited maybe 3 or 4 pages on the site) and arenât cookie sizes displayed here different from cached data?

not necessarily, maybe you visited pages with game trailers etc. and maybe some of the trailers were saved in-browser
I donât know exactly myself how all that works, but i know that sometimes my 3-year-old can watch certain youtube videos he watched online before on my wifeâs phone (without them having been downloaded) while our internet has gone out (and mobile data turned off as well), so it seems certain browsers etc. save lots of images and sometimes even video.
For example, when my internet goes off and i refresh my youtube in-browser, all the thumbnails still load and even the preview thingy still works, which means my browser stored all that data when the page loaded initially. Thatâs a lot of dataâŚ

I actually donât know too much about the details here either. Is there any way for you to delete your cookies and not other site data? That you way you can see how much data is stored aside from the cookies.

That data includes localStorage and cookies, but not cached files.
In Firefox, you can get details of the data by using the Storage Inspector (Shift+F9, or Menu > Web Developer > Storage Inspector, or F12 to bring up the developer tools and click the Storage tab). You can delete individual pieces of data from this interface as well.
Unfortunately, for the Epic data to show up, youâd have to do this on Epicâs site, there doesnât seem to be a way in FF to view the data for arbitrary sites.

Admittedly Iâm not 100% sure what Iâm looking at, but thereâs nothing much unusual thereâŚcache storage has about 5 .js files and 5 .css files (which Iâm assuming are small). Local and session storage are both emptyâŚ
Also bizarrely, Iâm now down to 95.9MB having done nothing but browse the site a little.

Itâs very odd that youâre not seeing anything odd o_o JS and CSS files can get big, but usually not 50+MB big⌠I find it especially hard to believe that thereâs no cookie and localStorage data associated with their site. Epic, what the heck are you doing :V
Itâs not that weird for the size to go down, since youâre browsing the site, it might be updating the stored data with new data that happens to be smaller, or some of the old data may be expiring.
