How do I reset my Cache, and clear cookie issues.
How cache & cookies work
- Cookies are files created by sites you visit. They make your online experience easier by saving browsing data, sometimes after an upgrade to Mediasite or a change to one of the many QUB systems, having old cache and cookies can cause issues.
- The cache remembers parts of pages, like images, to help them open faster during your next visit, this however may cause issues on some occasions.
What happens after you clear this info?
After you clear cache and cookies:
- Some settings on sites get deleted. For example, if you were signed in, you’ll need to sign in again.
- Some sites can seem slower because content, like images, needs to load again, however this will speed up after the first load.
- The issues with your service should be resolved!
