Web browsers store the history of the user's visits to Internet pages, remember the autocomplete of the pages and some information (pictures, scripts) from the sites. To clear the browser of unnecessary information (or "cover up the traces" of your activity on your computer), you should regularly clear the cache memory and browser history.
