Problem with a website.

I'm using Chrome on a win 10 laptop. 

I've now got a problem that I had in the past. I think I had to clear cache or something to get rid of it the last time. Is there a way to clear cache for just one website?

The problem is with my bank. I go to the website and it shows a page with a 'log off' option on it rather than 'log on'. If I click on 'log off' I get an 503 Error page. So I can't log on.

Any ideas?

    “Is there a way to clear cache for just one website?“

    Try Googling “chrome clear cache for just one website”. Loads of links.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Or you could just open a private window. All modern browsers offer this.

    Personally, I always use a separate browser for banking - Firefox at the moment. No add-ins, empty the cache on close, no passwords saved etc and doesn't affect my main Chrome browser.

    Thanks all.

    The New Incognito Window thing worked.

    Then I tried Googling for another way. The second set of instructions worked, sort of, so I've saved my own instructions for the future.

    They are:

    1. Open Chrome.

    2. At the top right, click the menu icon (three vertical dots), then ‘Settings’.

    3. Click ‘Privacy and security’.

    4. Click ‘Cookies and other site data’.

    5. Click ‘See all site data and permissions’.

    6. At the top right, search for the website's name (or scroll down to find it).

    7. To the right of the appropriate site, click the Remove icon (waste bin.

    You can use a Bookmark so that you don't have to remember the instructions.
    After  5. Click ‘See all site data and permissions’,  save as a Bookmark, and then it will be much easier to access.

    Thanks but none of the instructions I found matched exactly what I was seeing on my laptop. Hence I wrote my own instructions.
