# Safari: Clear the Cache

## Why do I need to clear the cache?

If you are having difficulties accessing the BMB website, this may be the result of what is called "browser caching". This is where your web browser keeps copies of frequently visited web pages to reduce load times.

Caching works really well for pages that don't change but can cause problems with interactive websites such as Bernard Magee Bridge where content is frequently updated. 'Clearing the cache' normally resolves such issues. This may also helps to resolve any browser issues you have after a system or security updates on your device. You can clear the cache without deleting ‘Saved Passwords / Log-in’ or browser data.

The Apple Safari browser is the one with an icon that looks like this:

Firstly, ensure you are logged out of BMB. Then navigate to Safari preferences.

In the pop-up window that appears after clicking **Preferences**, select **Privacy** at the top and then **Manage Website Data**.

Once you have clicked **Manage Website Data**, a new window appears. **Wait for the window to populate with the cookies list.**

Once the list has populated, scroll down to find **bernardmageebridge.com**. Click on it once so the background goes blue and then click **Remove,** followed by **Done**. This will ONLY remove the bernardmageebridge.com cookies from the cache and leave all your other data intact.

Finally, **Quit** Safari, re-open and navigate to bernardmageebridge.com. Click **Ok** to accept cookies from BMB and you should be all set.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.bernardmageebridge.com/technical-guides/browser-and-tablet-help/safari-clear-the-cache.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
