Revolver Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 hi I'm not much for reading computer-like topics so I'm not sure if that sort of discussion goes somewhere else (like 'Support' or something..)but anyways.. I asked somewhere how come I always have to log into MyGNR everytime I enter the site and I was told that I probably haven't tried deleting my cookiesI've seen that word used as an internet-thing but I have no idea what it is nor how to delete itwill it affect my computer and how?if anyone can answer this that'd be greatly appreciated! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 A cookie is a tiny piece of data that remembers who you are when visiting a site - for instance it will remember you have authenticated with the correct credentials - meaning you won't need to authenticate again until that cookie is deleted or expires (it may be set to expire every 48 hours, for instance).At the bottom of any page use the 'Delete my Cookies' link - this will delete all cookies from mygnrforum.comIt won't affect anything on your computer - but you will need to login again.Rick.
