Clear Cookies to Protect Your Privacy

You may not be familiar with the word "cookies", but have you ever been curious why your personal information or E-bank account was given away?

I came across such trouble last week, then after consulting my friend, I came to know it is cookies that give away my privacy.

Generally speaking, cookies are small text files that some websites restore on your PC so that next time when you browse the same web, it will read your information through cookies and react accordingly.

However, cookies can be dangerous because when other people use your computer, they will get to know your information. For example, when you surf the Internet in a public place or in an Internet bar, you should clear cookies any instant to protect your privacy.

There are two ways to clear cookies:

A. If you want to clear cookies manually, you can follow the following steps.

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select the Internet Options command on the Tools menu.
3. Click Delete Cookies button on the General tab.
4. Click Delete Files button on the General tab. Then select delete all offline content.
5. Refresh or restart your IE.
However, many cookies can not be deleted manually.

B. If you want to completely get rid of cookies and protect your privacy, then you need a specialized software. I recommend you a software named "Registry Winner". "Registry Winner" can help you clear cookies as well as junk files and errors at any time. Different from other software I used before, "Registry Winner" is more efficient and convenient. After a single click, it will perform an all-around scan and help you clear up all the cookies, junk files and errors in several minutes. "Registry Winner" is good for me, and I use it to scan my PC everyday. Now my PC gets much faster, and I don' not need to worry about my privacy.
