Never, for regular browsing.
I use Firefox's Web Developer plugin to clear cookies for a specific domain if I'm developing and need to test clearing cookies.
If I don't trust a site or don't want it leaving traces I'll use Chrome's Incognito mode.
Never really got the fuss about cookies, some people seem really paranoid and diligent about clearing them. I don't really care, and I'm usually very mindful of privacy issues.
- mike-cardwell 15y agoHere is one reason you might block/clear cookies, and be concerned about these issues: If you want to use a Google or Facebook account, but at the same time, you don't want them to be able to link your general browsing history outside of Google/Facebook with your account. ie, the sites you visit and when you visit them. I don't think it's fair to call people with that sort of concern, "paranoid". I think "prudent", "informed" or "sensible" are more appropriate words.
