I have tried several times as I don't need any of them I looked at?

Not on the forum but under my account

Your browsing history shown in your account cannot be deleted. That is used by Qvc as part of their marketing and advertising which, as a Q customer, is in agreement with  shopping here. In other words, they own that browsing history and can use it as they please.

You can find out more about what the Q uses by viewing their Privacy Statement. Look at the section where it says Kinds of personal information we use.

@MKR14 - go to the QVC website.  Go to the blank search bar and click on it. You should see a drop down list of recent searches. Scroll to the bottom of the list and look for "clear recent searches".   Click on it and all of your recent searches should disappear.

That will not delete the 'Browsing History' which you can find under your account.

I always find some outfits that I would NEVER have browsed. QVC if you can't get it right, please leave my browsing site blank. Thank you.

I can't clear history for just one website.

I clear everything periodically to cut unwanted tracking and potential scams.

Clear your history and cache. I also go into my privacy settings to be sure the websites are erased.

So here's my 2 cents take it or leave it. When I deactivated my account I specifically requested that they get rid of all my data.  

After 20+ years of being on a buying frenzy which is no different than most of you, in fact many have been buying a lot longer than me; I have everything I need.  

Plenty of jeans, trousers, tops, tanks, shoes, jackets, coats, purses, earrings, rings, sheets, blankets, comforters, scarves, socks, lanterns, flashlights, laptops, phones and I'm done forever.

If you have a Mac:  Go into your browser's privacy & security section.  Look for Cookies & Site data or something similar.

In the Cookies section, delete all cookies w/QVC listed.

This is what Waterfox browser Preferences>Privacy & Security/Cookies-Site Data looks like.....

As you can see, you can customize a particular website tracking/cookies data.

Windows should have something similar.

I do not use any iOS devices.  So someone else will need to help you on that.

===================================

An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small block of data created by a web server while a user is browsing a website and placed on the user's computer or other device by the user's web browser. Cookies are placed on the device used to access a website, and more than one cookie may be placed on a user's device during a session.

Cookies serve useful and sometimes essential functions on the web. They enable web servers to store stateful information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) on the user's device or to track the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to save information that the user previously entered into form fields, such as names, addresses, passwords, and payment card numbers for subsequent use.

Authentication cookies are commonly used by web servers to authenticate that a user is logged in, and with which account they are logged in. Without the cookie, users would need to authenticate themselves by logging in on each page containing sensitive information that they wish to access. The security of an authentication cookie generally depends on the security of the issuing website and the user's web browser, and on whether the cookie data is encrypted. Security vulnerabilities may allow a cookie's data to be read by an attacker, used to gain access to user data, or used to gain access (with the user's credentials) to the website to which the cookie belongs (see cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery for examples).

Tracking cookies, and especially third-party tracking cookies, are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals' browsing histories — a potential privacy concern that prompted European and U.S. lawmakers to take action in 2011. European law requires that all websites targeting European Union member states gain "informed consent" from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device.

I would expect QVC has already saved/mined all that data for their purposes.  And QVC may collect their own data that is not subject to the Browser procedure.
