Why do a lot of you guys clear out/delete your cookies? Is there some benefit to doing this? I have not cleared my cookies yet at all. I have the ebay 12 credits pending (I just opened an ebay account and tried for a winsor pilates auction, I lost- darn!), if I clear my cookies, will I loose that credit? I have a few other offers pending. Thanks!
a lot of offers track by credits. I generally give my cookies 24 hr after shopping, then clear.
Lots of offers are run by the same advertiser and can sometimes use the same cookie. If you don't get rid of the old one from the day before it will override the new one and you won't get credit for the 2nd offer you do.Quote:

But... If you try tomorrow without clearing cookies you have a good chance of not getting credit for your survey. So that is why you want to clear cookies.
My rule of thumb for shopping is ~ 6 hours then I'll clear and do something else if I want/need to.
About clearing cookies~ I use AOL and I have no idea how to clear cookies:confused:I have tried to figure it out and have no idea. Any help would be appreciated

Do you have a Mac or a Windows based pc? If you have a Windows based PC go to the Technical Issues section of the board and there is a sticky called Commonly discussed programs or something similar. In there I have a download link for a program called CCleaner. Download it and its a one click program. Very fast and does a pretty darn good job. Its totally safe to download.Quote:

OK!! great. I think I'll do the same! Thanks so much for the help, being a newbie I really appreaciate it!
