Upgrades are things that make buildings and some other parts of the game better. As of version 2.052, there are 716 normal upgrades, and as of version 2.045, 13 debug upgrades.
Sometimes, upgrades cost cookies, but can also cost Heavenly Chips or cps. Upgrades grant different types of bonuses, including but not limited to:
Making sounds only when something happens,
increasing total cookie production,
Increasing click power,
Increasing Golden Cookie frequency, duration, gain, (which also increases Wrath Cookie counterparts),
Increasing CPS granted by milk,
Hastening the ripeness of Sugar Lumps,
Increasing random drops from seasonal effects,
Decreasing building costs,
Increasing click power based on cursors,
and so on.
All upgrades will appear at the top right of the page, on top of buildings, and will disappear from the list when bought. When bought, they will also appear in the stat sections, where they can be viewed at any time (along with the tooltip on hover, that describes its effects). Just like cookies and buildings, upgrades are often lost when ascending. Permaslotted upgrades, however, will stay throughout ascensions. Seasonal Cookie Flavours are also usually lost, but they have a chance of being kept, as long as one buys the Keepsakesheavenly upgrade.
Clicking, building, and kitten upgrades are tiered. The names of these tiers can be seen by purchasing the Label Printer heavenly upgrade.

Idleverses are twice as efficient. "The structure of the metacosmos may seem confusing and at times even contradictory, but here's what you've gathered so far:
each reality, or "idleverse", exists in parallel to all others
most realities seem to converge towards the production of a sole type of item (ours evidently being, thanks to you, cookies)
each reality is riddled with chaotic tunnels to a number of subordinate dimensions (such as the so-called "cookieverse"), much like swiss cheese
all realities bathe in an infinite liquid of peculiar properties, colloquially known as "milk"
Finally, each reality may have its own interpretation of the concept of "reality", for added fun."

Income-multiplier Upgrades[]
With the exception of the green yeast digestives flavored cookie, these upgrades all contribute to a multiplier of the cookie income, which is the total output of all the buildings equipped with their respective upgrades. The income-multiplier upgrades are a mid-game to end-game feature because they become very expensive.
Flavored cookies increase the base multiplier, which starts at 100%. These bonuses stack multiplicatively. Notably, flavored cookies are listed in a separate section from the other upgrades on the stats screen.
Of the 245 cookies, 236 have a fixed CpS multiplier, one does not provide a multiplier ("Green yeast digestives"), seven have a variable multiplier based on the game state (Valentine's Cookies), and one has a value based on the system clock ("Birthday cookie"). The total CpS multiplier from the 236 standard cookies and the birthday cookie is:
If Selebrak is worshipped in the Pantheon, and/or if the Starlove heavenly upgrade has been purchased, the heart biscuits have increased CpS boost. The individual and total CpS boost of heart biscuits and flavored cookies as a whole is as follows for each combination of Selebrak and Starlove:

Kitten Upgrades[]
Each kitten upgrade boosts the CpS multiplier by a percentage proportionate to the Milk amount and each upgrade's effect stacks with another multiplicatively. For example:
Kitten helpers boost the CpS by 10% of the Milk amount. So with a Milk level of 150%, Kitten helpers will boost CpS by 1 + 0.1 × 1.5 = 1.15 = 115%
Kitten workers boost the CpS by 12.5% of the Milk amount. With a Milk level of 150%, Kitten workers will boost CpS by 1 + 0.125 × 1.5 = 1.1875 = 118.75%
With both Kitten helpers and Kitten workers upgrades, the overall Kitten multiplier will be 1.15 × 1.1875 = 1.365625 = 136.5625%
You can check the overall Kitten multiplier (which accounts for the following upgrades, as well as the heavenly upgrade Kitten angels with its milk factor of 0.1) at the top of the Achievements section in Stats. There are other factors which can increase the milk power. See Milk for more details.

Bingo Center/Research Facility[]
After you have the "Elder" achievement and own at least 6 grandmas, you are eligible to get the "Bingo Center/Research Facility", which costs 1 quadrillion cookies (as of version 2.052). After you purchase it, it will research an upgrade with each research period taking 30 minutes without "Persistent memory" heavenly upgrade and 3 minutes with it. However: research time is based on frames, not minutes. The game naturally runs at 30 fps. If you alter that to 5 fps to reduce load on your CPU, upgrades will then take 3 hours. At 10 fps they take 1 hour 30 minutes, at 20 fps they take 45 minutes, and so on. Research on the next upgrade will not begin until the previously researched item has been purchased.
If you want "Sacrificial rolling pins" without waiting, you can buy "Elder Pledge", then "Elder Covenant", then "Revoke Elder Covenant", then repeat until you've unlocked the upgrade.
Grandma-operated science lab and leisure club. Grandmas are 4 times as efficient. Regularly unlocks new upgrades. "What could possibly keep those grandmothers in check?... Bingo."

If you look at the upgrades in the Stats screen after they are purchased, they will all say "[Purchased]". However, the kitten upgrades will say "[Purrchased]". This also applies to the upgrade when it is not purchased; on the bottom it says "Click to purrchase" instead of "Click to purchase."
All upgrades that "added x base CpS" to the buildings were changed to another "doubles efficiency" upgrade, which was a buff because the base CpS increase was less than the original base CpS, and each upgrade stacks with all others (except the doubling efficiency of cursors and their -illion fingers)
Every -illion fingers upgrade for the cursors except "thousand fingers" and (maybe) "million fingers" were buffed, so now all of them except "thousand fingers" add 5x10x cookies per cursor. "Octillion fingers" now gives 5 million CpS per cursor instead of around 200,000 (needs correction).
This is later changed again where each upgrade becomes multiplicative, from "Trillion fingers" onwards by 20 instead of the flat increase by 10 times. However, it also makes the highest "finger" upgrade no longer give an incredible flat amount of cookies per click at the start of a new ascension.
As stated above, Persistent Memory is no longer an actual upgrade, but now a legacy upgrade, costing 5 heavenly chips.
Upgrades that add to the cookie production multiplier (i.e. Santa's Dominion adds +20% cookie production) were buffed to be global, so the percentages were reduced. Cookie upgrades that added +5% made the percentage, for example, go from 1,000% go up to 1,005% production. Now, those +5% cookie upgrades give +1% cookie production, and would boost the percentage from 1,000% to 1,010%.
The description of certain research upgrades were changed to match how they really act. One Mind, for example, originally said "grandmas gain +1 base CpS per 50 grandmas," implying you may need to get 50 grandmas for a CpS boost. Now, it says "grandmas gain +0.02 CpS per grandma," showing that each grandma boosts every other grandma by 0.02 base CpS, instead of requiring 50 to get the boost.
Some cookies/biscuits (i.e. Macarons) now require a Heavenly Upgrade to purchase.
