If you're using Google Chrome as a browser

On your computer, open Chrome.

At the top right, click "⋮"

Click "More tools" and then "Clear browsing data".

At the top, choose a time range. To delete everything, select "All time"

Next to "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files," check the boxes.

Click "Clear data"

You computer will build up bloat over time which will not be cleared using the browser clean up. You are much better off running regular clean ups with a 3rd party tool such as ccleaner or at the very least run your browser clean up and then disk cleanup from settings

As a aside , l have bitdefender and Kaspersky before that .both used to say all Cookies cleaned etc run ccleaner , immediately after and it claimed that it needed to remove cookies , viruses and lord only knows what else . Clearly something is a con , question which one ?:confused:

Use a good script blocker. Then you don't get cookies. ;)

You need to whitelist the occasional site but well worth it.

ccleaner I would say has been around as long as both of them pretty much but it does not clean viruses so dunno how it was warning you to do that. As I said there is more to bloat than cookies some 3rd party apps dig deeper than others I use bleachbit and that digs deeper than ccleaner by a long shot

do you not have to keep logging into web sites? I use different browsers for different tasks. What I log into most like social media this site amazon ebay etc I run on Gener8 so it scores me points as I browse. All sites have 2FA log ins so as safe as can be but I leave that quite bloated

I then have a shortcut to chrome that just opens incognito so gathers no bloat

Just installed free version , it seems that even that I have the full works of bit defender and a paid for VPN ( shark) l have 1997 trackers on my pc !!!! :erm: dumped it

Anti Viruses and VPNs do nothing to stop tracking cookies. Dunno why you expect them too, unless they specify they have apps to do it
