What are Temporary Internet Files and Cookies?

It is a small piece of data that your browser stores, as a history of the sites that you have visited. It keeps a record of this to provide a faster search service in the future.

Do I need to remove these?

Yes, we recommend that you clear these out on a regular basis, as if too many build up, they can affect the way in which our site and games load for you.
