Since the need for deleting cookies and
temporary browsing data is becoming more and
more important for smoother PC performance
and the need for easily deleting browsing history
is also on the rise for privacy reasons, different
browsers are coming up with innovative
techniques to delete cookies automatically and
allow private search.
Temporary solutions
You can delete browser history and cookies
occasionally when you want and that is being
made easy too. For example, Mozilla has recently
come up with the Forget button for Firefox to
make it easy to delete recent cookies and web
history just at one click. The options are flexible
in terms of sessions you want the PC to forget.
It gives you three options:
Delete cookies from last 5 minutes.
Delete cookies from last 2 hours.
Delete cookies from the last 24 hours.
However, this is not a permanent solution
because every time you need to delete cookies
or browsing history you need to remember to
click on the button.
A permanent solution
You may be used to flushing cookies every time
before shutting down the browser, but why work
hard every time if you can get it done
automatically? Unless of course, you don’t want
to always delete the browsing history or
cookies.
Getting rid of the cookies from your browsing
session helps you avoid the creepy tracking of
advertisement companies. Your e-mails and
social networking accounts will not be flooded
with advertisements if you delete the cookies.
You can make your Pc automatically delete the
cookies after each working session quite simply.
You don’t need any add-ons for this. So here is
how you can delete cookies automatically for
Chrome, Explorer and Firefox.
For Chrome
Everything has always been pretty simple on
Chrome if you know how to go about it:
Click on the ‘hamburger’ menu at the top right
corner.
Go to ‘Advanced Settings’ under ‘Settings’.
Go to ‘Privacy’.
Tap on ‘Content Settings’.
Under the cookies there you will see the ‘Keep
local data till you quit the browser’ option, click
it.
Click on ‘Done’ that appears at the bottom of
the window.
There, you are done!
Firefox
The process is similar for Firefox as well:
Click on the upper right corner ‘hamburger’.
Go to ‘Options’.
Click ‘Privacy’.
There will be a drop down menu under the
‘History’ section where you will find the ‘Use
custom settings for History’ option.
Look for the ‘Keep until’ segment and choose
the ‘I close Firefox’ radio button.
Click on OK.
Again, it’s all OK, you are done.
Internet Explorer
The process to delete cookies on Internet
Explorer is a quite different from doing the same
on Chrome or Firefox. Here are the steps:
Click the gear icon that is at the upper right
corner of the window.
Select ‘Internet Options’.
Click on the ‘General Tab’ to open it.
There will be a ‘Browsing History’ segment
where you will find the ‘Delete browser history
on exit’ option.
Click OK.
This was simple too though a little different.
Deleting cookies without having to remember is
not so complicated after all.
