It also creates cookies, which are small files that the browser stores on the computer when a user visits Web sites. Cookies enable users to access Web sites without having to sign in every time, and they speed up processing of some sites. Unfortunately, some cookies also contain sensitive security data. The best safeguard is to remove the browsing history, temporary files, and cookies from the computer and to set the browser to disable history and cookies.
