What is an Incognito Window?
To make sure you can properly test our features on your site, you'll need to open an incognito window in your browser.
In Chrome, it is called Incognito. In Safari and Mozilla Firefox it is labeled Private Window, while in Internet Explorer, it is called In Private Browsing.
These names all refer to one thing: a browser window that doesn't store cookies or your browsing history - so you can browse like there's no tomorrow!
We need this to avoid your browser's cache and remaining cookies that can alter the result - the easiest and nicest way to achieve this is to open a new incognito/private window in your browser.
If you're an expert opening such things, this article might not be for you - but if you're new to this option, don't worry, we've got you covered!
