How to configure automatic clearing of cache and history when closing the Opera browser?

Managing personal data and browsing history is an important aspect of digital security and privacy. The Opera browser provides the ability to configure automatic deletion of your online footprints every time you close the application. This eliminates the need to manually clear cache and cookies after each web browsing session.

To configure this feature, open the main browser menu and go to the settings section. In the settings search bar or side menu, navigate to the privacy and security subsection. This is where all the main tools responsible for safeguarding your personal data and managing it are gathered.

Find the option responsible for clearing browsing history, and pay attention to advanced parameters or privacy settings for specific sites. You need to go to the site settings section, and then select the cookies and site data category. Inside this menu, there is a toggle switch that allows deleting cookies and site data when all browser windows are closed.

If you require more fine-grained configuration, you can use special extensions from the official Opera add-ons catalog. Such extensions offer a detailed selection of items to delete, including image cache, download history, autofill form data, and visited page history.

Remember that automatic data clearing will result in you having to log in again to many sites upon every new browser launch. Therefore, it is recommended to exclude frequently used services from this list by setting up exceptions for them in the site data storage parameters.
