Clear Browsing Data

Why do I need to clear my cache and cookies (browsing data)?

Cookies, which are files created by websites you’ve visited, and your browser’s cache, which helps pages load faster, make it easier for you to visit websites.  Sometimes, when a website is updated, the old data is still cached and it can cause an error on the page.  By clearing your cache, the next time you visit a website, the page will be freshly downloaded.  

Step 1: Open Chrome

• Open up your Chrome browser
• On the browser toolbar, click More (the three vertical dots)

Step 2: Clear browsing data

• Scroll down and click on Clear browsing data

Step 3:  Clear Cache & Cookies

• Set the Time range to All time (Most Important Step)
