Cache and cookies are different things. Cache is where the pages are temporarily stored and cookies are small files (or a big one depending on the browser) that store your preferences for a page like language, info displayed and so on.

It may depends on what you want to do.

If you just want to free some space, cleaning the cache would be more useful.

Keep in mind that cache is used to save files so that when you load a website again, you don't waste time and data to download the same files this website needs. When you clear the cache, all those files will be downloaded again.
When you clear cookies, you will need to login on all pages where you were logged in automatically before.
