Clear your browser's cache memory

Cache memory is a temporary memory in your Web browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer) used to locally store information that you accessed during a session. When you need to retrieve this information, your browser or wireless device gets it from the cache memory rather than from main memory where it was originally stored. Cache memory thus speeds up the retrieval and display time for information you consult while browsing.

At the end of your AccèsD or AccèsD Affaires session, you could therefore have personal financial data in your browser's cache memory. To protect the confidentiality of such information, make sure that you clear the cache memory at the end of each session.
