Applications used to access web pages (browser, for example) save Cookies on the Internet users’ terminal by default. However, the settings can be changed by you so that the automatic installation of Cookies is blocked by the web browser. Detailed information on how to manage Cookies is available in the settings field of the web browser.

8. Why are Cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are important for the efficient functioning of the Internet, in the interest of the user, because they contribute to the creation of a simple and personalized web browsing experience according to the interests, preferences and behavior of each user.
Blocking or disabling Cookies may make some sites unusable or significantly limit your web experience. Blocking or deactivating cookies does not mean that advertising messages will no longer be delivered to you, but that the web pages you are on will no longer offer you an experience adapted to your type of behavior and preferences.
Cookies are important for:
a. Content and services tailored to your preferences – categories of products and services.
b. Offers tailored to your interests – password retention – if you opt for this functionality.
c. Retention of child protection filters regarding web content (family mode options, safe search functions).
d. Limiting the frequency of delivery of advertising messages – limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a particular user on a site.
e. Providing relevant advertising based on the user.
f. Measuring, optimizing and recording data related to site performance – statistics related to traffic, content viewed. This information is important for improving the web experience of users .
9. Web Security and User Privacy Aspects
Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data
However, Cookies can be used to the detriment of users, by Spyware programs. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, Cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. The role of anti-spyware applications is to flag cookies for deletion during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.
Browsers have integrated privacy settings that offer different levels of Cookie acceptance – such as validity period and automatic deletion at the end of a web session.
10. Other security aspects related to Cookies
Since all Internet users have the right to the protection of their online identity, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Given that through these files information is constantly exchanged between the browser and the website you are visiting, the information transmitted through Cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network – as is the case with certain Wi-Fi networks.
Other attacks based on Cookies may be possible due to wrong settings of these files on the servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted through Cookies. For these reasons it is essential that you pay close attention to the settings by which you protect your personal information available online.
11. Tips for secure web browsing based on Cookies
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites use Cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling Cookies will not allow you access to sites such as Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
That’s why we offer you some tips to ensure a safe web browsing through Cookies.
a. Customize your browser settings regarding Cookies.
b. If you are the only user of the terminal, you can set expiration dates for extended Cookies.
c. If you are not the only user of the terminal, consider deleting individual browsing data each time you close the browser.
d. Install antispyware applications and constantly update them.
e. Make sure that the browser used is always up-to-date, because many of the attacks based on Cookies are possible due to the weak points of the old versions of the browsers.
All browsers offer you the possibility to set your own way of action of Cookies.
