Cache / History - Each time you access a file through your web browser, the browser caches or stores it. That way, the browser doesn't have to newly retrieve files, including any images on that page, from the web site each time you access the site. You should periodically clear the cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently and to display the most current content.
Pop-Ups - Some college systems and resources open links in a new window, so you may need to allow pop-ups in your browser.
Cookies - To use some college online services (Blackboard, myMadisonCollege, etc) you may need to enable cookies in your browser, and sometimes you also need to accept 3rd party cookies. A cookie is a very small file sent by a web site to your computer's web browser that is stored on your computer. Cookies must be enabled to ensure appropriate session identification in case a problem occurs. You can set your browser options to delete cookies at the time the session is terminated. Clearing cookies may also help with some browser issues.
