CCleaner and Steam.
Welp I done goofed it up. I used ccleaner, which cleared my cookies, and now I can't trade for 7 days, thanks to steam guard. I'm not going to bother with any recovery method, but rather, finding what the cookies are named so I can exclude them. If anyone could help me find the names, or what I should search, please inform me.

Thanks,
-iTF2

It can only affect the Steam website via a browser u use; not your Steam Client.
So you should still be able to do whatever like normal via Steam Client.
you can also l;et ccleaner analyze then go to options and under cookies, find steam cookies and add to 'cookies to keep'.

you can also manually deselect/uncheck internet browser cookies under ccleaner>>application tab.

Yea before u flush w/ CCleaner, click Tools > Cookies
Then look for these and click to Keep them:
support.steampowered .com
store.steampowered .com
steampowered .com
steamcommunity .com

If anything, I would just suggest you not flush browser History or Cookies. Unless u really need to. If you have a browser other than IE installed, that browser is on the "Applications" tab in CCleaner and will have it's own options.

Also be sure of what you are clearing. De-select ones you are un-sure of. Google if u don't understand it.
