Clear History
History contains a chronological list of Web pages you have visited (up to 100). To remove all Web pages from
the list, click the
Clear History
button.
Clear Cache
The device cache stores temporary Internet files such as Web pages and files (such as graphics). This speeds up
the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen because Internet Explorer can open them from
your device memory rather than the Web. To clear your cache, click the
Clear Cache
button.
Clear Cookies
Many Web sites save information to your system (the Web proxy service in this case) so sites can “remember”
information you’ve entered (including which pages you’ve visited within their site) for future reference. This
information is stored in a small text file, called a cookie. Know that only the information you type while visiting a
Web site can be stored. Also, know that the presence of a cookie does not allow any external Web site access to
other information on your device. A Web site can only read the cookie that it created.
