How to Remove Cookies on a Blackberry Curve

An Internet cookie is piece of text stored by an Internet browser that contains your user preferences and other information about your interaction with a website. They can also be called browser cookies or HTTP cookies. Although Internet cookies themselves can't harm your BlackBerry Curve, they do contain personal information, such as passwords to certain websites, that viruses and spyware can use to do harm. Too many cookies can also slow down your web browsing experience so you may have to clear the cookies on your BlackBerry Curve often.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Turn on your BlackBerry Curve. Go to the applications page and scroll until you find your Internet browser. Enter the Internet browser by selecting the globe icon with the trackball and using it to click the icon.

2. Press the menu key--it's the one with the BlackBerry logo on it, located between the green call button and the trackball. When the side menu pops up, scroll down and click "Options."

3. Click "Cache Operations." Under the heading "Cookie Cache," click "Clear." As soon as you do, you will see that the Internet cookies cache size will change to zero and the clear button will disappear.

Tips & Warnings

• When you delete your Internet cookies from your BlackBerry Curve, your frequented websites will no longer have your password and preferences saved. You may have to re-enter them.
