On your internet options it states to clear all cookies upon exiting the internet. all you have to do is check that box and every time you exit it is done for you automatically.  If I am on for a long length of time I exit wait 2 minutes and go back on and it is done. I hope that helps you.

You can do it manually form your web browser threw options tab or you can download a free program which cleans up most of your days history/cookies.

In most browsers type Ctrl+Shft+Del and it will bring up the screen to clear them.

Thanks Old Buddy...good tip..didn't know you could do that to clear cookies. I'll be sure to be using that a lot more especially before I start surveys.:)

I clear my cookies either during my usage and definitely after I have finished for the day.  Not clearing the cookies can cause a lot of problems.

its best to clear cookies so the surveys dont think you've already tried them.  i use a program called ccleaner to clear mine out.  it's free and it works great~!

 Try ccleaner, it clears cache, cookies, and unimportant information and it also speeds up your computer  ;)

It depends on which browser you are using. I think it could possibly make your computer run faster as well. However, I don't know if that is true.
