Cookies

Can anyone tell me how to eliminate "Cookies?" I have one that's driving me NUTS!!

Depends on your browser. I have Firefox set to ask. I can answer yes, no or for session only. In your browser settings, there will also be a place to delete cookies, probably in the security area.

If you know the file name of the cookie, search for it and delete it, just be careful that it's in your cookies folder.

I set Firefox and Safari to delete all cookies when I close the program.

It will be in your preferences.

I keep a neat clean computer.

That's a good plan - unless you use certain services that you WANT to do things like track your location (weather, etc.) or or remember what articles you've already read.

If something was interesting enough for me to read, I'll remember it. I don't use any apps that track my location ln a phone.

Think back several years. You didn't have those things tracking you then and you don't need them now. I like my privacy.

Thanks everyone for the help and I did find out how to kill these cookies and tracking. Perseverance does pay.

I'm Glad you figured it out.

I was thinking about my PC, not a phone. The tracking I was talking about were sited like Yahoo's news feed. Cookies were used to remember your preferences. That way, all the time you spent customizing your home page didn't go away between visits.

I don't have a customized home page. I don't even use a home page. I start out with a blank page, then I just go to my email.

EVERYTHING gets logged out when I close the program.
