Mmm Cookies...

A cookie is a small file created by a web browser at the request of a web site, which is then stored on your computer. Cookies typically store user-specific information or preferences, such as selections in a form, shopping cart contents, or authentication data. Web browsers will normally clear cookies that reach a certain age, but clearing them manually may solve problems with web sites, your browser itself, or even other programs. It is good practice to clear your cookies on a regular basis (and other Temporary Internet files as well). Depending on what web browser you prefer to use, the process to clear those cookies may differ.

For Internet Explorer 9:

1. Tap the Alt key to display the menu bar and select “Tools”, or click on the Tools sprocket/gear icon in the upper right hand corner.
2. Select “Internet Options”
3. Under the General tab you will see a heading for “Browsing history”. Click the “Delete” button.
4. The options available will likely already be selected for Temporary Internet files, Cookies, and History. Clicking the “Delete” button at the bottom of this page will clear all of the cookies stored from Internet Explorer.

Alternatively, you can tell Internet Explorer 9 to automatically delete your browsing history every time you close the web browser by also selecting the “Delete browsing history on exit” option in step 3 above.
