Why are cookies important to the Internet?
Cookies are a central point for the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to produce a certain pattern of preferences and interests of each user. Disagreeing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable.
Rejecting or deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertisements, but that these will no longer appear in your account for favorites and interests collected through browsing behavior.
Examples of important roles of cookies (which do not require authentication via an account):
• Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of products and services.
• Offers adapted to the user’s preferences – remember passwords.
• Save child protection filters for Internet content (family mode option, safe search function).
• Limitation of the frequency of use of advertisements – the limitation of the display of an advertisement for a certain user of the site.
• Providing advertisements that would be of interest to the user.
• The measurement, optimization and characteristics of analytics – how to confirm a given level of website traffic, what type of content is displayed and how the user reaches a website (eg: search engines, direct, other websites, etc.) . The websites develop these analyzes and their use in order to improve the site for the benefit of the users.
Security and privacy
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use the plain text format. They are not composed of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor can they be executed independently. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to run or copy over again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about a user’s preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on most other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware software are not aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be removed during removal / scanning / anti-virus / anti-spyware procedures. Browsers
usually have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a site.
Other security aspects related to cookies:
Since the protection of personal data is extremely important and represents the right of every Internet user, it is recommended to know the possible problems that cookies can create. Through them, information is constantly and bi-directionally sent between the browser and the website, and in the event that a hacker or other unauthorized person intervenes during the sending of the data, then the information containing cookies can be intercepted.
In rare cases, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg: a wireless non-password protected network).
Another type of cookie-based attack requires wrong cookie settings on the server. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, hackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through the unsecured channels. Hackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most suitable privacy protection.
Tips for secure and responsible cookie-based browsing.
Thanks to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, the latter are almost unavoidable.
Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most encountered and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are generally found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser, through which you can customize the use of cookies in your browser.
