Mac Privacy Audit: Clean Trackers, Cookies & Logs
Your Mac stores far more about your activity than you realize: browser cookies, search history, app analytics, and crash logs. OptiClear's Privacy module scans every browser and many third-party apps, then lets you wipe traces in one click.
What a privacy audit covers
OptiClear scans Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge for cookies, history, autofill, downloads list, and saved sessions. It also checks recent files, terminal history, and known tracking caches in apps like Spotify, Slack, and Zoom.
What to delete vs. what to keep
Always safe to delete: third-party tracking cookies, browser history older than 30 days, auto-saved form data. Keep: site logins you use daily, saved passwords (those live in Keychain, separately). OptiClear shows the impact before you confirm.
Beyond browsers: app telemetry
Many apps log diagnostic data locally before uploading. OptiClear identifies these caches (e.g. Spotify's playback history, Slack's local index) and removes them without affecting your account. Your cloud data is untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this log me out of websites?
Only if you remove session cookies. OptiClear lets you exclude specific sites so you stay logged in to important ones like banking or email.
Does this protect against online tracking?
It removes existing local trackers. For ongoing protection, also use a content-blocking browser like Safari with the built-in Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
