$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('patience', 'I')'ll get my kid to show me how to clear cookies, and a ..... cache...? That's not my stash of preps, is it? I'm a digital illiterate. That's okay, though, because I have people that know this stuff. NO you can't have my chocoalate chip cookies! And there aren't any in my laptop, either.
Most browsers store a local copy of at least some elements of web sites you visit - things like images, style sheets, embedded videos - so that they don't have to re-download everything on subsequent visits. Ever notice how a site usually takes longer to load the very first time you visit it, but on subsequent visits it's faster? That's because the browser uses the locally stored copies of the more static elements of the site, thus reducing rendering time. These elements are stored in a file generally referred to as your browser cache, or simply cache.
