Cookies in general

The Internet is swarming with cookies. It is practically impossible to surf the web without gathering a number of cookies. Every web browser has a function to track and handle cookies. It is well worth having a look at, and consider what settings to use.

       You may have trouble visiting web sites if you accept no cookies. I recommend that you choose the alternative where cookies are accepted, but removed when you close the web browser. Do the same with your browsing history. That limits the information you share about you and your web browsing.

Disk cleaning

I also recommend that you get an efffective disk cleaner, which also erases your history, cookies, and many other things when you run it.

       Here is a popular app for that, which is free in its basic version (but the free smartphone app has ads):

CCleaner
