How Do I Clear My Browser's Cookies?
Sometimes, due to how browsers behave, you may need to clear your browser's cookies in order for for things to work properly. Clearing your browser's cookies can often fix login problems with sites with changed domain names.
Also, as WikiHow says:
Clearing your Internet browser's cookies can help by deleting the information that websites have gathered about you and stored on your computer as small text files. Most of these files are completely harmless, but others store where you went, what you did, and any personal information you gave. Web sites may also allow other websites (their advertisers, for example) to put cookies, known as third-party cookies, on your computer.
Note: If you have a browser that is not listed below, please check that browser's help for instructions on deleting cookies.
