I’ve removed all my cookies, but when I go to the download page on a website, it still remembers that I downloaded the content! Why!?

I’ve got a question. How do I delete the cookies and temporary internet files on my Mac Computer? I have tried but do not know how.

I also wanted to know about downloading pictures etc off of the internet. Where exactly do these downloads go. Do they automatically go to the temp files?

Thanks

If you turn off first party and third party cookies, can you still access sites where you have to login with credentials? For example, a banking website or even GMail, etc?

Thanks for the article on how to delete cookies! Do all browsers maintain cookies? If so, can you tell us how to delete cookies on Firefox and Google Chrome?

Is there a way to generate a VBS script that can clear out the cookies by simply running the shortcut? Thanks.

Thank you guys and girls for providing simple insructions to keep our laptops under our control rather than unknown remote sources. Keep up the good work! TKS

How can you delete cookies from computer when your not logged in under administrator? Also if you block cookies, are they blocked on administrator as well so they can’t track what you have done?

Thanks, greatly needed. I had a tracking cookie that copied my bank information and depleted my savings account last year when my antivirus expired. It was only one day and they got in. (I surf the internet extensively). I was selling a cell phone online and recvd an email saying that the money was put into my paypal account. I checked that my account and no money was deposited. Then I recvd another email saying that my account info needed to be updated so the money could be confirmed by paypal and to click this link. It was not paypal. Many people would have shipped without recving that money or updated their account. Then they woulde have just been out.

I am looking at the game and typing. I hope this was helpful.

I am a fastidiously private guy, heavily libertarian (which, in a nutshell, means leave me alone), and I do not think I am going too far in thinking cookies are basically evil and always have been. I have no need for a Web site to remember me, am happy to sign in every time I visit, and am never looking for an enhanced browsing experience.

There are some Web sites that obnoxiously insist that one have cookies enabled. Can you tell me if the “Keep until” I close FireFox actually eliminates ALL cookies? My settings are, “Accept cookies from sites,” but not third party, and until I close, and “Always clear my private data….”

In IE, my settings are accept first party, allow session, and block third. (I only use IE for email.) In the old days, I used to have to delete the cookies offered, then go into the index file and delete the cookie information there less the backup cookie listings in the index file restore the cookie information to the main file. Now I cannot find an index file so I cannot tell what is possibly being backed up.

As you can tell, I understand the use of cookies but see no use of them for my benefit. Please tell me if there are other settings (or other browsers) so as not to incur any cookie tracking or storage.

Thank you.

Thank you for the help. I am not very good with the computer and was perplexed. You helped out and explained things very well.
