How to delete cookies from your browser

Steps to take to delete cookies that are still showing in your browser

To understand how cookies and scripts work together, it is important to know that some scripts create a cookie in your browser during a website visit. A cookie is a small file that stores a website visitor's interactions with a website. The Clym widget permits users to set their cookie consent preferences for your website, allowing users to accept all, reject all, or consent only to certain categories. At any time, a user can click Forget Me for the Clym widget to forget their consent receipt and user data that has been stored. It is important to understand that this action does not remove cookies that were already made by scripts in their browser. The Forget Me action forgets all consent preferences that have been set by the user and allows them to resent their consents as desired.

If you would like to delete cookies from your browser, this can easily be done through your browser's settings. It is important to note that this process may vary across web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or others.
