No, there are certain super-cookies that have been designed and tailored by the industry to evade right these ordinary measures. You need special cleaners and preventive cookie blocking in the first. Script blockers also are needed. Just deleting cookies and cache and history does not kill these buggers, and they are hard to the unknowing mind to become aware of even just their presence.


It affects smartphones as well.



The more comfortable your computer handing and surfing experience is, the more unsafe it is. The more automatci stuff and default settings you use, the more unsafe you are..
