Removing all Facebook evidence from a PC

facebookprivacytracking

My wife currently accesses her Facebook account from two computers, her PC and my laptop. During the course of her Facebook activities she has gradually accumulated a number of 'link-ins' from various sites so that when either PC visits these sites, a corresponding note appears on my wife's Facebook timeline. This tracking is undesirable – she doesn't want to know every time I visit for example www.guardian.co.uk from my laptop. Note that I have nothing to hide, you understand, but there is a principal thing going on here.

So… How can I remove all traces of my wife's Facebook account from my laptop (but not the actual account itself, of course), so that I can visit these pages without her Facebook account being updated with details of what I visited?

Best Answer

You could...

  • use the browsers built-in function to erase all cookies and browsing history every time it is closed

  • use a browser that supports multiple profiles, and create a different profile for yourself

  • use a browser that supports keeping all the user data in the computer's user account directories, and create a separate account on your laptop for your wife

... not that this is all inclusive. Use Chrome, for example.

Then, of course, you could download any number of cleaning tools to clean out all of your cookies, history, temp internet files, etc.
