Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del brings
up the delete dialog in almost all browsers (I've tested IE, Firefox, and
Chrome), where you can delete cookies, form data, passwords,
etc.
Firefox, and Chrome are
working just fine. However, IE just like always acts differently. It shows the
message that everything is deleted, but it actually preserves many
things.
To test it, I simply logged
into a Zerk website. We have used session cookies on our website. After clearing
all the cookies by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del and I'm still logged in IE 9 browser.
Guess what? In Chrome and Firefox I get redirected to login page when performing
anything after cookies got deleted.
Solution:
There are two types of
cookies: session and persistent. In our case, session cookies should be
considered.
In IE 9 when you use
Ctrl+Shift+Del option, you delete only persistent cookies. If you want to delete
session one, you must hit F12 to open the Developer Tools, click Cache and
Delete session cookie.
