7. Why are cookies important for the internet?

Cookies are the core of the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience, adapted to the preferences and interests of every user. The refusal or deactivation of cookies can make certain sites/platforms impossible to use.

The refusal or deactivation of cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertisement (such as the advertisement of products on other sites), but only that it can no longer take into account your preferences and interests, as highlighted by your browsing behavior.

8. Security and confidentiality issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not composed of code fragments, therefore they cannot be run and cannot autorun. Therefore, they cannot duplicate or replicate in other networks in order to autorun or replicate again. As they cannot execute such functions, they cannot be considered to be viruses.

However, cookies can be used for malicious purposes. As they store information about the preferences and browsing history of users on both a certain site and several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and mark permanently the cookies for deletion as part of the anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

As the protection of identity is extremely valuable and a right of every internet user, it is recommended to be aware of any issues that may be caused by cookies. Because they are used to transmit permanently, in both directions, information between a browser and a website, if a hacker or an unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained by cookies can be intercepted.

Make sure that your browser is always updated. Many of the attacks based on cookies exploit the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.

All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings can be found, as a rule, in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser. If you wish to find out more information about cookies and their uses, we recommend the following link:
