Quick tip of the day

Your browser doesn’t just store your passwords and favorite sites. There are also browser cookies, the trackers that follow you around the web and power the ads and content you see. Plus, your internet history, cache, and download history could be clogging things up.

A free program called CCleaner helps you sort out the cookies and archives you don’t really need. When you download the app, you can focus on a specific browser you would like to clean up. CCleaner analyzes its backlog of information and lists the data that seems unnecessary.

Tap or click here to get the details and links you need for CCleaner.

You can delete cookies from your phone, too. Tap or click here for the step-by-step instructions whether you’re using iOS or Android.
