What is a "cookie"?

A "internet cookie" (term known as well as “browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie"Or simply"cookie") Is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web-server to a browser (ex: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is complete ”passive” (It does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive).

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the life of a cookie is determined; Technically, only the webserver who sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with the respective webserver.

Cookies themselves do not request personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.

There are 2 large categories of cookies:

1. Session Cookies -they are temporarily stored in the cookie folder of the web browser to memorize them until the user leaves the website or closes the browser window (eg at the time of logging/derogation on a webmail account or on social networks).

 

1. Persistent cookies -they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and in general, it depends on the preset life for cookies). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one visiting the user at the time-known as'third party cookies'(Cookies placed by third parties)-which can be used anonymously to memorize a user's interests so that the most relevant advertising is delivered for users.

 

What are the benefits of cookies?

A cookie contains information that makes the connection between a web-browser (user) and a particular web-server. If a browser access that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide comfortable services to users: ex – Online confidentiality preferences, site language options, relevant shopping baskets or advertising.

What is the lifespan of a cookie?

Cookies are administered by webserver. The life of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through browser settings.

 

What are the cookies placed by third parties?

Certain content sections on some sites can be provided through third parties/suppliers (eg: News Box, a video or advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the site and they are called "third party cookies"Because they are not placed by the owner of the respective website. Third third party providers must also comply with the law in force and the privacy policies of the site.

Why are cookies important to the Internet?

Cookies are the central point of efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or deactivating cookies can make some sites impossible to use.

• Withholding children's protection filters on Internet content (Family Mode options, Safe Search features).
• Measurement, optimization and analytics characteristics - such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (eg: by search engines directly from other websites ). The websites carry out these analyzes of their use to improve the sites for the benefit of the user.

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 self-executed. As a result, they cannot be duplicated or replica on other networks to run or replica again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about user navigation preferences and history, both on a certain site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus/anti-Spyware scanning/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated confidentiality settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, the period of validity and automatic deletion after the user visited a certain site.

• Install and update your antispyware applications.
• Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on sites. Thus, it prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
