The cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on the user’s terminal (computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet).
The cookie is installed on a browser-based request (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome etc.) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive). Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of the many services you will enjoy on the Internet, such as displaying a site correctly when you visit it using your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment you access the Internet, personalizing certain settings (language, country, prices in national currency, etc.) or allowing access to the website.
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users so they can make them more efficient and accessible to users and can include applications or site features that create an easier, more enjoyable and enjoyable navigation experience.

4. What Cookies Do We Use?
We use two types of cookies: session and persistence. Session cookies are temporary files that are active and remain in the user’s terminal until the end of the session or closure of the application (the web browser).
Persistent cookies are stored files, depending on the set time, on the storage media of a computer or device. Persistent cookies also include those placed on a website other than the one the user is currently visiting, known as “third party cookies” – that can be used anonymously to store a user’s interests, so that advertising is delivered as relevant as possible to users.

6. Continue Personal Data Cookies?
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not identify personal internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain user functionalities. These data are encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized people access to them.
7. Delete cookies
In general, an application used to access web pages allows you to save your Cookies to the terminal by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic administration of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed whenever cookies are sent to his or her terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the application settings area (the web browser). Restricting the use of Cookies may affect certain features of the web page.
8. Why are Cookies Important for the Internet?
Cookies are the central focus of the efficient Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical / inaccessible or difficult to visit and use. Disabling or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising – but it will not be able to keep in mind your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of Cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):
• Content and services tailored to user preferences – product categories and services.
• Offers tailored to user interests – retaining passwords.
• Retain child copy filters for content on the Internet (family mode options, safe search functions).
• Limit ad serving frequency – limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
• Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
• Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Websites run these analyzes of their use to improve sites for the benefit of users.
9. 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 or can auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about user preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, Cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and consistently mark Cookies to be deleted in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of Cookie acceptance, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site. Other Security Issues Related to Cookies:
Because identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what issues the Cookies can create. In order to transmit constant information in both ways between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person interferes with the data transmission path, the information contained in Cookie can be intercepted. This can happen, for example, if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (such as an unsecured WiFi network).
Other Cookie-based attacks involve bad cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to fool browsers to send information through insecure channels. Attackers then use the information for the purpose of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
10. Tips for safe and responsible navigation, based on cookies.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites and the biggest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable.
Here are some tips that can help you navigate worry-free with Cookies:
• Customize your browser settings for Cookies to reflect a comfortable level for you of Cookie security.
• If you do not mind Cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you can set expiration dates to store your browsing history and personal access data.
• If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and to delete any visitor information when you close the browsing session.
• Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the applications for detection and prevention of spyware include the detection of attacks on sites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
