Clearing the Cache

This article explains how to clear your browser cache for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Clearing your cache is important to benefit from the updates that are made to Bp Omni and removes deprecated code stored in your browser.

What is a cache?

The web cache and cookies both store data on your device for an improved browsing experience, but serve different purposes. A cache stores copies of all data that pass through it, like HTML pages and images and helps to display a web page while cookies track user preferences and login information.

Cookies expire automatically but the cache requires manual clearing. Clearing your browser cache improves speed and performance.
