WebData Control is the only solution that reduces the size of users’ web browser databases, and gives administrators full control over users’ browsing data to ensure that only required information is kept. WebCache files can easily be 500MB or more, which can take minutes to load up when users log on, impacting productivity and user experience.

The Avanite solution can reduce the size of WebCache files by 80 to 90%, and the number of cookies in a typical WebCache from typically 5,000 or more. The WebCache file size is also larger for Windows 10 machines: typically double the size of that on a Windows 7 machine. Also, browsers such as Chrome and Firefox have their own files, so if users visit a web site they double up on this data.

When users browse a website, data including cookies from that website are downloaded to their machines. Many web pages also contain links to other third-party websites which also download data, much of which is used for tracking user behaviour and targeted advertising. This data is used and controlled by third parties, and also affects the user experience by increasing logon times, as well as increasing the number of support calls, storage costs and network requirements.

Additionally, with cyber security (and GDPR) at the forefront of people minds, it is important for administrators to have a view of what is actually on users’ computers and then be able to set policies to define what data is required and what can be safely removed. Some web data contains sensitive information such as usernames and passwords to critical systems and other identifiable data. Conventional methods of tidying up this data, such as clearing the Internet Explorer browser cache does not truly remove this data.
