I did a full scan on my PC and found that a lot of tracking cookies were listed. I used the Internet Options "delete Browsing history" to cancel tempory files and cookies. What are tracking cookies? Will they cancel via the browsing history page?

tracking cookies are those ones that let you log into forums and sites etc without having to put your details in every time, they authenticate you for who you are. still though, have a scroll through them and make sure that the only ones there are sites where you've clicked the 'remember me' tab or whatever. delete any you don't recognise."If you really want to hurt your parents and you don't have nerve enough to be homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts."0
