Safari privacy
settings

■ Clear History: Tap this button to erase your entire browsing history.

The Clear History feature is also available as a button in the navigation
bar when you're viewing the History folder from the Bookmarks list.

■ Clear Cookies: Tap this button to wipe out any stored cookies.
■ Clear Cache: Safari stores the contents of recent Web pages so that if
you return to a site, it doesn't need to re-download images and other
data that may not have changed. If you see a Web page that doesn't
seem to have changed its content, try clearing Safari's cache to force
a reload.

The Clear buttons erase all stored data; you can't go in and delete
individual cookies as is possible in most desktop Web browsers, for

note

example.

note The Databases option isn't really a privacy setting, but it's grouped
with the other items. Tapping Databases reveals larger chunks of
temporary data stored in Safari, like the iPad User Guide.
