Temporary Internet Files is the name of a folder (directory) on your hard disk that is used by Internet Explorer to store Web pages, images, audio and video files, and other content from the Web sites that you are visiting. This folder is also known as the cache of Internet Explorer.
Despite these positive things about Temporary Internet Files, there is one big drawback: they compromise your privacy. They are called temporary but they are never deleted unless the cache is full and the Temporary Internet Files can reach very large size on the modern computers. Everyone with access to your computer can look into your Temporary Internet Files folder and see the sites that you have visited in the past.
All web browsers offer the means to delete cookies right in the browser.
