How Do I Clear My Browser's Cache and Cookies?

If you're ever having technical issues, we might suggest for you to clear your browser's cache and cookies. These are the files that help web pages you visit often load faster and remember your log in information. Sometimes, these files get out of alignment and conflict with other websites, which may necessitate clearing them out and starting fresh.

It's important to note that clearing your browser's cache and cookies may cause your browser to forget your saved log in information until the next time you visit a site and ask it to remember you again.
