Re: Clear e cookies on win 10
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

Re: Clear e cookies on win 10
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

Sorry it came up with all sort of faults , it was at least a couple of years ago I last looked , only remember it warned about all sorts of things that it would sort out if I sign up to what ever the paid service was called.

Re: Clear cookies on win 10
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
