In Safari advanced settings I have 14MB of website data. Some entries have a large amount of data such as mail.google.com with 4.3 MB. Google Mail in Safari is web based and I have no offline content except 1 small unread message in my inbox. My contacts are not available when wifi or mobile is not connected so what is the "Webdata" and what would I delete if I deleted it?
iOS 6
You can delete website data if you like. If you delete it from the cookies and data part of the settings, you get this message. You can read what it says.
Many times clearing cookies and data is used for troubleshooting purposes in Safari if it is crashing or behaving erratically and not as expected. But websites store their cookies on your iPad for faster browsing and login and things of that nature.

Maybe I did not make myself clear. I understand cookies and data as you show in your response however in the "Advanced" tab at the bottom of the screen in your response there is an option to clear "Website Data".
Apple does not supply a definition as to what is "Website Data" and how is it different than " Cookies and Data" in the location you are referring to?

Its not different. Clearing Cookies and Data in one fell swoop from the settings clears all of it at once. You also have the option of clearing cookies or any of the website data individually in the Advanced settings.
If you were having a problem with one particular website, you could go into the Advanced settings and clear the data for just that one site if you wanted to do so, or clear the data for selected websites. When you do it from the Clear Cookies and Data setting - you clear all of it at once, for all websites that you have visited.
What is website data and why am I storing it?
