How to Clear your browser's History, cache and cookies - THE VICAMP GROUP



Many browser related problems can be fixed by clearing your cache and/or cookies, but it's important to know how each impact your browser before you delete them.

Getting started

In computing, the” web browsing history” refers to the list of web pages a user has visited recently—and associated data such as page title and time of visit—which is recorded by web browser software as standard for a certain period of time. Web browser software does this in order to provide the user with a Back button and/or a History list, to go back to pages they have visited previously, rather than relying on the user to remember where they have been on the web. Your web browser's "Cache" is a place where information is stored which helps webpages load faster. "Cookies" are small pieces of information stored on your computer which save web site customization.

Having a local copy of a web page makes for very quick loading on your next visit because your computer doesn't have to download from the Internet all of that same information again.

If browser caching makes pages load faster, why would you ever want to clear your cache? A few reasons come to mind.
  • Clear your cookies to fix - Sign-in problems (not being able to sign-in, not being able to stay signed-in) and error messages about setting user cookies. 
    • Keep in mind - Clearing your cookies will delete all web site information stored in your browser (passwords, sign-in information, site-specific preferences, etc).
  • Clear your cache to fix - Pages that hang, freeze, don't finish loading, or contain old content and online applications (like games) that don't respond.
Regardless of why you might want to do it, clearing your cache really easy to do in all the popular browsers in use today.

In most browsers, you can clear the cache from History area in the (Tools) Settings or Options menu.

The steps involved in clearing the browser cache depend entirely on what web browser you're using. Here some browser-specific tutorials:
