Cookie query and QUIDCO - help?

hi
I have had the following advice from quido ( see below)

sorry for the basic question but how do i clear cookies ?

and if i clear the wont this affect other websites remembering my login details ?

can you clear cookies website by website- or do you have to clear them all?

any help appreciated

cheers

steve

Please read the following before proceeding:

Should track as two amounts, one at 0.00 and one at the full amount that should appear two or three months later.

***It is very important to clear your cookies before proceeding through this link, as if you have visited A&L first through another site they will be credited with the commission (having been the first to refer you). If you have gone directly to the A&L site they will place their own cookie on your computer and will not allow the quidco cookie to track.

    You can clear cookies using CCLEANER

    Close your browser, run ccleaner, then go back to quidco and follow their link to the shop (or whichever site you are trying to buy from).

    Or use a seperate browser for quidco shopping.
    Use IE for your normal mooching about. When you have found what you are looking for, open the other borwser(e.g. firefox, opera), go straight to Quidco and go via the link

    Yes ~ cookies are specific to different logins
    Though you can also create different cookies if you need to log into sites with different usernames too
