VIII. Why are cookies important to the Internet?

Cookies are the central focus for efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Denying or disabling cookies can make some sites unusable. Denying or disabling cookies does not mean you will not get online advertising - just that it will no longer be able to keep track of your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences - news, weather, sports, maps, public and governmental services, entertainment sites and travel services. Offers tailored to users interests - password retention, language preferences (For example: displaying search results in a specific language). Retaining Child Protection Filters for Content on the Internet. Limit ad serving frequency - limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site. Providing relevant advertising for the user. Measuring a certain level of traffic on a website through Analytics, the type of content viewed, how a user reaches a website (from search engines, directly from other websites, etc.).

IX. Security and confidentiality issues

Cookies are NOT Viruses! They use text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code to be executed. Consequently, they can not duplicate or replicate on other computers or networks to run or replicate again. Lack of these functionalities can not be considered viruses. Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. They store information about preferences and user browsing history that can be used for Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and consistently mark cookies to be deleted in antivirus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures. In general, browsers have built in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site. Because identity protection is very valuable, it is advisable to know the issues that may be caused by cookies. There is a constant exchange of information between the browser and the website through cookies, and if an attacker or unauthorized person interferes with this process, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. This can happen if your internet connection is on an insecure network, such as an unencrypted wireless network. Because of their flexibility, cookies are used by most sites, including some of the most popular ones (YouTube, Gmail, Facebook, etc.). Cookies are therefore inevitable, and disabling them will result in malfunctions and even the failure to access certain sites. Some tips on using cookies:

Customize browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security.
If you do not mind cookies, and you are the only person using the device, you can set long expiration dates to store your browsing history and personal data. If you share your computer access, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and to delete any information related to them when the browser is closed. Install and permanently update antivirus / antispyware applications. All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings
