Gmail through Safari - popup message to increase iPad's database size.

I keep getting this message from Gmail to increase my iPad's 3 database size. I keep saying 'no' what should I do? Today I tried to sign-on to gmail and the sign-on screen comes up but the page and URL starts looping and flashing. can't even use back button, need to close the window. I am going to use a different computer and delete/clean mail does anyone know if this will work?


Thanks...

Hi:


I have researched this "GMail requesting database in iOS" issue online and

several contributors have mentioned a "Security" section under Safari's settings

that I cannot find. Supposedly you can manually adjust amounts of memory there

that websites(such as GMail) can use.


After being prompted several sessions last week on my iPad by GMail to

increase database size, and having pressed No, I can now no longer use

GMail via Safari on my iPad Mini. iOS is 8.1 and there are no "security" or

"database" preferences under Safari in Settings, nor a Security tab in Settings

itself.


GMail freezes up my entire Safari which I need to close by swiping and than

reopening.


HELP!!
