Manage Cookies and Site Data

Cookies in brief:

• Cookies are small files stored in your browser by websites that you've visited. They contain information about your website preferences and can sometimes be used to authenticate you.

• For example, if you ask a website to 'Remember me' or similar, it is the cookie that keeps a record of this preference.

• Most cookies are stored for the worthwhile purpose of service improvement, but they can also be used to track you and record data. Examples:

• Session cookies allow a website to remember your page changes and selections as you move from page-to-page. A shopping cart is a good example of this usage.

• A search engine may store cookies to fetch your search history and will display targeted adverts to you on various web-pages you visit.

• Some malicious sites may use cookies to log sensitive information about you. Hackers could, in theory, intercept a cookie sent from your browser to a website and extract sensitive data.

• To maintain your privacy and security, you need to clear cookies from your browser periodically and evaluate your overall policy regarding allowing or blocking cookies.

• By default, IceDragon accepts cookies from the websites you visit. You can configure it to allow or block cookies , or to accept/block cookies on a per-site basis.

Browser cache in brief:

• The cache is a repository used to store web pages, images and other web content so that pages load faster on future visits.

Site data in brief:

• Some websites require you to download files in the background so the site runs faster and to keep information from being lost.

• These files, used by websites and keep in your local storage, can be removed manually.
