Protect your privacy against data collectors, digital snoops, and advertisers trying to show you those creepy targeted ads! MacScan 3 helps you tackle your biggest privacy concerns with a single, easy-to-use app—no more digging through your web browser’s settings or hunting for hard-to-find storage locations in Finder!
Clean Up Cookies
Not all cookies are bad; some of them help your favorite websites remember your settings or keep you logged in. But privacy-invading tracking cookies are a whole different story. MacScan can automatically seek out these malicious cookies, deleting only blacklisted tracking cookies while leaving the rest of your browsing data in place.

Clear Browser Caches
Your browser stores cache files to help websites load faster. But these files can stick around long after you’re done with them—taking up valuable hard drive space. MacScan 3 helps you locate and remove these unnecessary files quickly and easily.
Remove All Download History
Your Mac keeps a record of every file you download—and doesn’t delete them by default. MacScan 3 lets you wipe your download history clean with a click, freeing up space and protecting your privacy.
