How to Clear Cache and Cookies

Why do I need to clear cache and cookies?

Websites store information such as site preferences and login status in "cookies" on your computer. Your web browser's cache temporarily stores parts of websites you visit. 

You may need to clear cookies and cache to fix issues with how websites work or look. For example, you may get a 403 error when trying to log in to your MNsure account, or an "unhandled service exception error" when using the MNsure online application. Clearing your cache and cookies often fixes these errors.
