Cookie help

Hi, I signed a petition on change.org.  I want to send the link to the petition to some friends but now I've signed it, they can't get in with the link I sent them as it comes up as though it is signed,  Is it because the petition left a cookie on my laptop and I am copying the link that knows I have signed it, if you understand what I mean?  If so, how can I get rid of the cookie so I can go to change.org and copy the link of the petition so it doesn't know I have signed it.  I hope this makes sense lol
Thanks in advance

    You're doing something wrong with the link you're sending.  Cookies don't work in the way you're describing.
    Best thing to do is open the link to the petition in a new (private/inprivate/incognito)window and copy the address from there.  I've just picked this one at random: https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-rot-end-supply-chain-food-waste - send something like that.  Nothing else in the address bar.

     open the link to the petition in a new (private/inprivate/incognito)window


    Sorry, how do I do that?  When I open the link, it comes up with - Take the next step - (ie, share/donate)
    If I delete everything after the petition title, it still comes up with the same.  I'm not very technical.

    Try a different web browser?
  • Are you using the copy link button? Have you tried just copying the link from the address bar instead?
