What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, your mobile device or other equipment of a user that is used to access the Internet. The cookie is installed through a request sent by the server of a web page to the browser (for example: Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox), and is completely “passive” (does not contain software programs, viruses or other malicious software and has no access to the information from the user's hardware).

Do cookies contain personal data?

By themselves, cookies do not require personal information in order to be used and most often do not identify the identity of Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may only be collected to facilitate the use of cookies. This data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorised persons from accessing it.

Deleting cookies

In general, an application for accessing web pages allows the storage of cookies by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings of the web browser. Restricting the use of cookies may affect some features of the website.

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are a central point for the effective functioning of the Internet, helping to create a specific model of preferences and interests of each user. Disagreeing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable.
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 favorites and interests collected through browsing behavior.
Examples of important cookie roles (which do not require account authentication):

• Content and services adapted to the user's preferences – categories of products and services.
• Offers adapted to the user's preferences – remembering passwords.
• Save child protection filters on Internet content (family mode option, safe search function).
• Limiting the frequency of ad use – limiting the advertising of an ad for a particular user of the site.
• Providing advertisements that would interest the user.
• Measurement, optimization and analytics characteristics – how to confirm a certain level of traffic on the website, what type of content is displayed and the way the user reaches a website (eg: search engines, directly, other websites, etc.). Websites develop these analyzes and their use in order to improve the site for the benefit of users.

Security and confidentiality

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text format. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run on their own. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to start or copy again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about preferences, as well as the user's browsing history, both on a particular site and on most other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware (spyware). Many anti-spyware software is unaware of this fact and constantly indicates that cookies should be removed during the removal / scan / anti-virus / anti-spyware procedures.

Browsers typically have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration date, and automatic deletion once a user has visited a site.

Other aspects of security related to cookies:

As the protection of personal data is extremely important and is the right of every Internet user, it is recommended to know the possible problems that cookies can create. They send information permanently and in both directions between the browser and the website, and in the event that a hacker or other unauthorized person interferes during the sending of the data, then the information containing cookies can be intercepted.

In rare cases, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg: wireless password-free network).

Another type of cookie-based attack requires 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 trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Hackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate protection of personal data.

Advices for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, the latter are almost inevitable. Disabling 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 ensure carefree surfing, but with the help of cookies:

• Customise your browser settings for cookies to create an appropriate level of protection against the use of cookies.
• If you're not bothered by the use of cookies and you're the only person using your computer, you can set longer expiration dates for storing your browsing history and accessing personal information.
• If you share access to your computer with someone, you can calculate the browser settings for deleting personal browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that distribute cookies and to delete any type of information when you visit when closing the browsing session.
• Install and maintain anti-spyware applications on an ongoing basis.
• Many spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing sites that could exploit the browser vulnerability or download malware.

Make sure your browser is always updated.

Many cookie-based attacks are implemented when exploiting vulnerabilities in older and outdated versions of browsers.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites – local and international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the Internet with confidence. Disabling or declining cookies may make some sites unusable or difficult to visit and use. Also, opting out of cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive / view online ads.

It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the browser to accept cookies only from certain sites. But, for example, if you are not registered to use cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are located in the “options” or in the “favorites” menu of each Internet browser. To find these settings, you can also use the links below or use your browser's “help” option for more information.
