[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1182121, member: 190607"] Since the topic of Macintosh maintenance comes up regularly, I created a Web page devoted to the topic: Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance [url=http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html]OS X Maintenance And Troubleshooting[/url] The site does not cover cookies, as I don't consider them a routine maintenance task. You can easily turn cookies off in your browser, or delete them. But cookies aren't the evil that many would have you believe. You may just want to leave them alone. See: [url=http://www.graphic-design.com/news/2005/beware_spyware.html]Beware of Spyware by Christina Zeeh - DTG News Bytes[/url] Flash cookies have been a recent hot topic. See: [url=http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/]You Deleted Your Cookies? Think Again | Epicenter | Wired.com[/url] You can use Flush (free) to delete Flash cookies. (If you use Pandora, this will have the effect of erasing Pandora's settings.)
