Most modern browsers offer a private browsing mode that prevents your browsing and download history, cookies, and form data from being saved locally once you close the window. Bookmarks and files you download are still kept unless you remove them manually. If something isn't working properly in Caredove, you can try performing the same action in an private browsing window to help determine if the issue is related to saved cookies on your browser.
Chrome's Incognito Mode
Pages you visit and files you download while in Incognito aren't recorded in your browsing/download history, and cookies created during the session are deleted once you close all Incognito windows. Changes to bookmarks and settings made in Incognito are still saved.
To start it, click the three-dot menu in the top right > New Incognito window.
