SharePoint Online - Switching Between Classic & New Experience

-
Did you click the 'return to classic SharePoint' button in SharePoint Online and are unsure how to get the New Experience back?

You need to clear all cookies from your browser and load up the site again.

There doesn't seem to be any button in the GUI that allows you to switch the new experience back on for your specific profile.

Update 27/07/2017: Microsoft have advised that they are adding a 'return to Modern UI' button so people can quickly switch back and forth

No dependent actions succeeded. Why This was due to a Microsoft Flow limitation.
