What is my browser's cache memory?

This memory in your browsers is used to save and store data (such as images, HTML, Javascript, cookies, etc.) from the pages of the sites on which you are browsing. This "backup" of temporary files makes it possible to load web pages already visited more quickly.

Why do we have to empty it?

• to protect your saved personal data stored in the cache;
• to improve the functioning of your software (or applications) as well as their loading time;
• when the changes made on a page are not visible (often after refreshing your page).
