How Do I Clear My Web Cache and Cookies?

        All web browsers have a cache in them to store data used to quickly load frequently visited pages.  However, the cache does not always work to your advantage especially when web pages have been updated and your web browser’s cache is trying to recall the web page’s information from a cache directory.  You may experience slow loading or incomplete pages with outdated cache data. Keeping your web browser current with the most recent version will load pages faster and help with online security. 

Please note that if you are on a PC, clicking Ctrl + Shift + Delete on your keyboard will bring up your browsing history to adjust as needed.
