Re: Clearing Cookies
I run my browser with Privacy Settings set to
Medium High. This:
Blocks third party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy
Blocks third party cookies that save info that can be used to contact you without consent
Blocks first party cookies that save info that can be used to contact you without consent
I also run with JavaScript disabled all the time unless a specific website requires it (like online banking).
Finally after I visit any webpage and leave, I run:
Tools - Delete Browsing History
and I have every check box in that screen ticked except the "Preserve Favourites" box.
In addition there is a setting in the Internet Explorer settings to Automatically Delete Browsing History when the browser is closed. I have that enabled too.
In short then, if a website uses cookies, they last only for the time I am using that website and then they are immediately deleted.
