- Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites unusable. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to log in via an account): Content and services tailored to user preferences - categories of products and services. Offers tailored to user interests - password retention. Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions). Limiting the frequency of advertisements - limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a given user on a website. Providing advertising that is more relevant to the user. Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites etc.) Websites run these analytics on their usage to improve their websites for the benefit of their users.
- Security and privacy issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they autorun. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate themselves 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 users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on many other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies:
As identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the potential problems that cookies can create. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve wrong cookie 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 for the purpose of unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate way to protect your personal information.
Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.
Because of their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and biggest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent the user from accessing the most popular and widely used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can make sure you can surf worry-free but with cookies:
Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie security that you are comfortable with.
If you don't mind cookies and you're the only person using your computer, you can set long expiry times for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to your computer, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visiting information when you close your browsing session.
Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications.
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure your browser is always up-to-date.
Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older browser versions.
