Clear Chrome Cache

Question

Hi community, 
 We have an Android tablet that has been put into kiosk mode, specifically with the purpose of getting clients to leave a review. 
 I have created a Web App for the websites we are using and they display in full screen. The browser that is installed through the Play Store is Google Chrome. 
 All works great but ideally I would like the cache to be cleared once the page is closed so as to not retain any information from a previous user. I have instructed the team to ensure that the user is logged out but I would prefer to take away the human element if possible. 
 Also, doing it this way retains historically entered details, which I would prefer to be cleared also. 
 Any advice would be appreciated 
 Thanks 
 Adam

Hi Adam , 
 Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 
 I suggest checking the "Managed App Configuration" options that are available. One of the configuration options for the Google Chrome app on Android is "Browsing Data Lifetime Settings". The minimum you can specify is 1 hour. 
 
 Another option I was able to find is mentioned in the following 3'd party article. It involves long-pressing the Chrome icon on your Android device, followed by dragging the "New Incognito Window" button to the desktop. - Always Open Chrome or Firefox in Incognito (Private) Mode by Default 
 After further testing, this second option may not be possible in kiosk mode.
