There are a couple of issues you need to be aware of. Firstly, the cache takes up space on your hard disk which could impact your computer's performance. Also you may find that it is necessary to re-load a web page to get the most up to date version. However, the biggest issue relates to your privacy.
Your web browser's cache leave a virtual "paper trial" of the websites you visit. A person with access to your web browser's cache could easily figure out which website you visit and see examples of the content which could potentially be very embarrassing!

The cache is not the only set of files that your computer collects which can cause serious privacy issues. Your browser for example stores a history of the URLs you visit. The Windows operating system also stores a list of files you recently accessed including media files like videos which you download.
Thankfully there are a number of good software products which help you clear out all of these files. This a critical part of protecting your privacy and helps boost your computer's performance.
