Download and install CCleaner. It has a setting for clearing History and Cookies, and which ones to keep.
I periodically delete "Browsing History," which has options for clearing temporary internet files, cookies, etc.
I normally do not clear cookies because I subscribe to several sites that use cookies to ease logon.
Is there a way to protect selected cookies from deletion by the "Internet Options" tool?
Thanks,
