Why are cookies important for the Internet?


Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that the user will no longer receive online advertising - but only that it will no longer be able to take into account the user's preferences and interests, highlighted by the browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):

content and services tailored to user preferences - categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment websites and tourism services;

offers adapted to users' interests - retention of passwords, language preferences (eg: displaying search results in Romanian)

retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);

measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as: confirmation of a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (eg through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Website owners conduct these analyzes to refine the websites for the benefit of the 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 run automatically. As a result, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies may, however, be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular website and on other websites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies for deletion in anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures. In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings, which provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.


Other security issues related to cookies


Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create.


Because through them, information is constantly transmitted, in both directions, between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg, an unsecured WiFi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on webservers. 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 unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information in order to gain unauthorized access to certain sites.


It is very important that users are careful in choosing the most appropriate method of personal information protection.


Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

install and constantly update your antispyware applications. Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software;

make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.

What do you do if you do not want cookies installed on your computer?


There are people for whom the storage of information extracted from their computer or mobile device is relatively invasive, especially when the information in question is stored and used by third parties unknown to them. If you prefer, you can block all cookies or just some of them or even remove cookies that have been installed on your terminal. However, be aware that you may not be able to use certain features. To enable this lock, you must change your browser privacy settings. Some third-party operators have developed tools whose modules allow data collection and use to be disabled. Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, the refusal to accept cookies does not mean that the user will no longer receive / see online advertising. It is possible to set in the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a certain website. But, for example, if a user is not registered using cookies, they will not be able to leave comments. All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings.


These settings are usually found in the "Options", "Settings" or "Preferences" menus (buttons) of the browser.
