How do I delete cookies?

You’ve probably heard how advertising companies track you as you browse and search the web. They do this by storing cookies on your computer. It can be scary to think about just how much information advertisers can collect from you with just these little, invisible cookies.

Of course, there are useful cookies too, but sometimes it’s difficult to tell which is which.

You can manually delete your cookies from all browsers at the end of your browsing or searching session to limit the amount of information that is collected.
