8. Why are Cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are important for the efficient functioning of the Internet, in the interest of the user, because they contribute to creating a web browsing experience that is simple and personalized according to the interests, preferences, and behavior of each user.
Blocking or disabling Cookies may make some sites impossible to use or may significantly limit your web experience. Blocking or disabling Cookie files does not mean that you will no longer be delivered advertising messages, but that the web pages you are on will no longer offer you an experience adapted to your type of behavior and preferences.
Cookie files are important for:
- Content and services adapted to your preferences – categories of products and services.
- Offers adapted to your interests – password retention – if you opt for this functionality
- Retention of child protection filters regarding web content (family mode options, safe search functions)
- Limiting the frequency of delivery of advertising messages – limiting the number of ad displays for a certain user on a site
- Providing relevant advertising based on the user
- Measuring, optimizing, and recording data related to site performance – statistics related to traffic, content viewed. This information is important for improving the web experience of users.
9. Web security and aspects related to user privacy
Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data.
However, Cookies can be used to the detriment of users by Spyware programs. Because they store information about the preferences and browsing history of users, Cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Anti-spyware applications have the role of marking cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.
Browsers have integrated privacy settings that offer different levels of acceptance of Cookies – such as the validity period and automatic deletion at the end of a web session.
10. Other security aspects related to Cookies:
Since all Internet users have the right to the protection of their online identity, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Given that through these files information is exchanged constantly between the browser and the site you are visiting, the information transmitted through Cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible in the situation where the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network – as is the case with certain Wi-Fi networks.
Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to incorrect settings of these files on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted via Cookies. For these reasons, it is essential to pay increased attention to the settings through which you protect your personal information available online.
