The options in the Internet Cleaner module are described in full detail in the Options and Cookies screens, so there's not really any need to add anything here. In any case, deleting temporary Internet and browser data is almost always completely safe so it's not really possible to cause any damage.

Cookies of trusted sites:

The only things you need to be a little careful about are the cookies created by trusted websites containing genuinely useful information that make browsing the sites easier or more fun. Examples of this include the personalized products lists displayed when you contact Amazon or stored user names and passwords so that you don't need to remember them to log on.

Adding sites to the trusted sites list:

You can add sites that you trust to this list to prevent their cookies from being deleted by Internet Cleaner. Once you have added all the sites you trust you no longer need to check the Details screen before selecting Delete; the cookies of your trusted sites will be reliably excluded from the scans.


Just enter the URL of the site in the field shown on the left and click on Add.

Tip: Perform a scan and check Details after adding a new site to make sure that its cookies have been excluded. (See below for more information.)

Important: Cookie URLs may be different from site URLs!

To be identified properly the URL must be entered exactly as shown in the URL column in the Details screen. The URL identifying a cookie may actually be slightly different from the URL used to access the site with your browser. For example to access a site you might enter www.sitename.com but its cookie URL can be just sitename.com.
