INTERNET EXPLORER
Because it is substantially easier to delete individual cookies in Firefox, you may wish to do this in Firefox instead if you don’t want to delete all cookies for a given domain. This procedure will not delete all of your cookies, only those for a single site.
Menu: Tool > Internet Options Click “General” tab Under Browser History, click “Settings” button Click button “View Files”. You will see a window with all your cookies. Click “Internet Address” to arrange cookies by internet address. You may also want to arrange by type. Delete all cookies from the domain disqus.com. Delete all cookies from the domain of mcclatchydc.com.
Alternately, it is easier and surer just to delete all your cookies:
Menu: Tools > Delete Browsing History Make sure the ‘cookies’ checkbox is checked and click the Delete button.
However, this will have the side effect of logging you out of any other sites that use cookies for login.
A third alternative is to try a private browsing session. This will not permanently affect the state of your browser, but will temporarily cause you browser to act as if cookies had been deleted:
Menu: Tools > InPrivate browsing.
Once you close the window with your private browsing session, you browser will revert to how it was, so any benefit (or negative effect) of using this method should be temporary.
SAFARI
Menu: Tools icon (a gear) > Preferences Click Security tab Click “Show Cookies” button Select cookies from the domains “disqus.com”, mcclatchydc.disqus.com, and mcclatchydc.com and click the “Remove” button. Alternately, you can click the “Remove All” button, although this will have the side affect of logging you out of sites with cookie based logins.
As an alternative, if you only need to browse temporarily without existing cookies, you can start a private browsing session: Tools Menu > Private Browsing
