6. Do Cookies Contain Personal Data?

Cookies themselves do not require personal data to be used, and in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through cookies is used only to facilitate certain functionalities for users. These data are encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized access.

7. Deleting Cookies

By default, web browsers allow the storage of cookies on user devices. However, these settings can be changed to block automatic cookie handling or notify users whenever cookies are sent to their device. Detailed information on managing cookies can be found in the settings section of your web browser. Limiting cookie usage may affect certain website functionalities.

8. Why Are Cookies Important for the Internet?

Cookies are essential for the efficient operation of the internet, helping create a friendly and personalized browsing experience. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites difficult or impossible to use. Disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertisements—it just means they will not be tailored to your interests based on your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (that do not require user authentication):

  • Customized content and services based on user preferences
  • Personalized offers and remembering passwords
  • Parental control settings for child-safe content
  • Limiting ad frequency—preventing excessive ad display
  • Delivering relevant advertisements
  • Analytics and website performance optimization

9. Security and Privacy Issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats and do not contain executable code, making them unable to self-run or replicate. Consequently, they cannot be considered viruses.

However, cookies can be used for malicious purposes, as they store browsing preferences and history, which may be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware programs recognize this and regularly flag cookies for removal during scans.

Web browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that offer different levels of cookie acceptance, lifespan, and automatic deletion.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

Because identity protection is a fundamental right, users should be aware of potential cookie-related risks. If an attacker intercepts cookie data during transmission (e.g., through an unsecured WiFi network), the information in the cookie can be accessed. Additionally, misconfigured server-side cookies can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access.

Tips for Safe and Responsible Browsing with Cookies:

  • Customize your browser settings for an appropriate level of cookie security.
  • If you are the sole user of your device, you can allow longer cookie storage durations.
  • If sharing a device, configure your browser to delete browsing data upon closing.
  • Regularly update and use anti-spyware applications.
  • Keep your browser up to date, as older versions may have vulnerabilities that attackers exploit.

Cookies are a fundamental part of internet browsing. Understanding how they work and taking appropriate security measures allows users to browse safely and efficiently.

Disabling cookies may make certain websites difficult to access or use. However, rejecting cookies does not mean you will stop seeing online advertisements.

Most modern browsers provide cookie settings under the “Options” or “Preferences” menu. To understand how to manage cookies in your browser, consult the “Help” section.
