Clear Browser Cookies

Did you know that any time you visit a site, the site deposits a cookie (or a record) onto your computer? They do this so it is easier for them to track your usage on their site. But from a privacy standpoint - anyone who had access to your computer can see which a record of which sites you’ve visited.



Private IE makes it easy to protect your privacy and clear all cookies from your computer.

During a web browsing session you simply open Private IE and locate Clear Browser Cookies (on the left hand side of the screen).

Choose one of the following options:

  • All Sites - Choosing this option sets Private IE to delete all Cookies.

  • All Except Trusted Sites - In your browser, you can categorize websites based on how much you trust them. If you choose this option, cookies from all Browser Security : Medium (Unclassified Sites) and Browser Security : High (Restricted Sites) will be deleted.

  • Restricted Sites Only - Choosing this option sets Private IE to delete cookies from all sites that you have classified as Browser Security : High (Restricted Sites).

Once you have made your choice, press the button labeled Clear Now and your Cookies will be cleared.

Would you like to set this option to Automatic?
