Why Is My Browser Storing So Much Private Data?

Between the browser history and tracking cookies, it’s easy to feel like your browser is tracking and spying on you. But web browsers store this private data for good reasons. We have shown you how to have your browser clear private data whenever it closes or always start in private-browsing mode. However, having your browser keep all this private data can be very useful.
