How to Clear Cache and Cookies in Your Browser

Web browsers save browsing history and data to enhance the user experience on future visits by storing data and this data is known as cache. 

Sometimes data which is stored in the cache prohibits the loading of up-to-date contents. When you delete the stored cache data, the new version can be retrieved and this is also applicable for our PMS software that is occasionally updated. 

Cache files usually consist of larger files such as audio, video or flash files. Cookies are data files that are stored to user preferences and data such as logins.
