About Cache, Cookies

Each time you access a file through your web browser, your browser's "cache" stores certain information about web pages you visit.
By doing this, the browser doesn't have to newly retrieve files from the remote web site each time. They will load more quickly in the future.
Browsers will normally clear cache that reach a certain age, but you should manually clear the cache to reflect the most up-to-date information, and thereby you may solve some problems with your browser. - Cookie

"Cookie" is a file created by a web browser, at the request of a web site, that is then stored on a computer.
These files typically store user-specific information such as selections in a form, or authentication data.
