How to Delete and Remove Cookies

 Cookies are a concern for Internet privacy because they track user behavior on the Internet.  The problem with cookies is that they may not always provide accurate identification of a user but they can be exploited by hackers.

A cookie is a file that is created by a Web site that stores information about you and your preferences.

Cookies are quite common on many major websites and do not contain any spyware or viruses. They are simply pieces of data that help differentiate users.

How to remove cookies in IE from computer :

Open Internet Explorer and scroll down and click Tools and then Internet Options.

On the General tab, click on the Delete button Under the Browsing History section

Now click on the Delete Cookies button. This will delete all cookies stored on your computer for Internet Explorer.

NOTE
If you don’t want to have cookies stored at all on your computer by any website, then  click on the Privacy tab while in Internet Options and then click on Advanced.

After clicking the ' Advance' another box tagged ' Advance Privacy Setting' will come up. Now check the “Override automatic cookie handling” . This basically turns off cookies on your computer so no tracking can be done.
