8. Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are the focus of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to each user's preferences and interests. Refusal or disable of cookies can make some websites impossible to use.
Denying or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising - it will simply no longer take into account your preferences and interests suggested by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (that do not require user authentication through an account):
Content and services tailored to user preferences - categories of products and services.
Offers tailored to users' interests - remembering passwords.
Maintaining filters to protect children from specific the Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Creative delivery rate limiting - limiting the number of views of an advertisement on a website for a particular user.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and features analytics - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user arrives on a website (i.e. through search engines directly from other websites etc.). Websites develop these analyzes in order to improve their websites for the benefit of their users.
9. Security and confidentiality issues
Cookies are not viruses! They use plain type text formats. They are not built from pieces of code, therefore they cannot be executed nor auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks nor replica to run again. Because they can not perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Since they store preferences and information about users' browsing history, both on a particular site and several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be deleted in removal proceedings of deleting / scanning anti-virus / anti-spyware.
Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period and automatic removal after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies:
Because identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every internet user, one should be familiar with what types of problems can be created by cookies. Because through cookies information is constantly transmitted bothways between a browser and a website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
Although rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (i.e. unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve wrong cookies settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through insecure channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access on certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most suitable method of protecting personal information.
