[QUOTE="krs, post: 1835836, member: 67742"] Paul - When you clear History, you don't necessarily also clear your cookies - depends on the browser. Firefox for instance has options when you clear history to clear cookies or not, depending what you select. I wouldn't suggest you clear all cookies each time, they can be useful to help with identification where you want it - a banking site for instance. Without a cookie being set for them, you would have to go through a verification process (in addition to user name/password) every time you log in there. I started to use Brave as my main browser since it blocks tracking and ads - also started using DuckDuckGo as my search engine. [/QUOTE]
