If pages are loading incorrectly, you’re stuck on an old version of the site, or you’re having trouble logging in or claiming a bonus, clearing Opera’s cache and cookies usually fixes it. The steps differ between iPhone/iPad and Android, so both are covered below.
Before you start
Clearing cookies signs you out of every website in Opera, including your Flush.io account. Make sure you know your login details (and have access to your 2FA method) before you clear anything. Passwords saved in Opera are not affected, as long as you leave the passwords box unticked.
Part 1 — Opera on iPhone & iPad
1. Open Opera and tap the O menu button in the bottom-right corner, then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Clear browser data.
3. Tick Cookies and site data and Cached images and files. Leave Browsing history and Saved passwords unticked if you want to keep them.
4. Tap Clear.
5. Tap Clear again to confirm.
Figure 1 — Menu (O) › Settings › Clear browser data › Clear
Part 2 — Opera on Android
1. Open Opera and tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner, then tap the Settings gear (⚙) at the top.
2. Tap Privacy & security, then tap Clear data.
3. Set Time range to All time.
4. Tick Cookies and site data and Cached images and files. Leave the rest unticked if you want to keep your history and passwords.
5. Tap Clear data and confirm.

Ad blocker interfering?
Opera’s built-in ad blocker can occasionally break site features. Tap the shield or badge in the address bar and switch the ad blocker off for that site only, then reload, no need to change your global settings.
After clearing
Close and reopen Opera, then go back to the site. You’ll need to sign in again, cookies store your login session, so being logged out everywhere is expected. If the original problem persists after clearing, try a private window to rule out extensions, check whether Opera’s built-in ad blocker or VPN is interfering (both can be switched off per-site from the badge in the address bar), or contact support with a description of what you’re seeing.
