7. Delete of Cookies
In general, an application for accessing Internet pages allows you to store cookies by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic cookie control is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed whenever cookies are sent to his or her terminal. Detailed information about the options and ways of managing cookies can be found in the web browser settings. Restricting the use of cookies may affect some features of the website.
8. Why are cookies important to the Internet?
Cookies are a central point for effective web-based functioning, helping to design a particular pattern of preferences and interests of each user. Disabling or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable for use.
Disabling or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online ads, but that these will no longer appear in your account for preferred and interesting cookies collected through your browsing behavior.
Examples of important cookie roles (which do not require authentication via an account):
- Content and services adapted to user preferences – product and service categories.
- Offers tailored to user preferences – remembering passwords.
- Save child protection filters on Internet content (family mode option, safe search function).
- Restricting ad usage frequency – limiting ad submission to a specific user on the site.
- Providing ads that would interest the user.
- Measurement, optimization, and analytics features – how to verify a level of traffic on the website, what kind of content is visualized, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., search engines, directly, other websites, etc.). Websites develop these analyzes and their use to improve the site for the benefit of consumers.
9. Security and confidentiality
Cookies are NOT Viruses! They use the form of plain text. They are not made up of parts of codes, so they cannot be executed nor executed independently. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to start or replicate. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. As they store preference information, as well as the history of user browsing, both on a particular site and on most other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware software are unaware of this fact and consistently mark cookies to be removed during removal / scanning / anti-virus / anti-spyware procedures.
Typically, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration date, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a site.
Other security aspects related to cookies:
Since data protection is extremely important and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know the potential issues that cookies can create. It sends constant and bidirectional information between the browser and the website, and in the event that a hacker or other unauthorized person interferes at the time the data is sent, then the information containing the cookies can be intercepted.
In rare cases, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g., a wireless password-protected network).
Other types of cookie-based attacks require incorrect cookie settings on the server. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, hackers can use this vulnerability to deceive browsers when sending information through unsecured channels. Hackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate personal data protection.
10. Tips for secure and responsible browsing based on cookies
Due to their versatility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, the latter are almost inevitable. Deactivating cookies will not allow the user to access the most common and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can provide browsing without care, but with the help of cookies.
- Customise your browser settings for cookies to create an appropriate level of cookie protection.
- If you are not bothered about the use of cookies and you are the only person who uses the computer, you can set longer terms for expiration of the storing of browsing history and access to personal data.
- If you share the access to your computer with someone, you can consider the browser settings for deleting your personal data whenever you close the browser. This is the option to access sites that distribute cookies and to delete any kind of information when visiting the closing session.
- Install and maintain anti-spyware applications permanently.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on sites. This prevents the browser from accessing sites that could exploit the vulnerability of the browser or download malicious software.
Make sure your browser is always up to date.
Many of the cookie-based attacks are exploited to exploit the weaknesses of old and outdated versions of browsers.
