8. Why are Cookies Important for the Internet?

Blocking or disabling cookies can make some sites unusable or significantly limit your web experience.

9. Web security and privacy-related aspects
Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data
However, cookies can be used to the detriment of users, by Spyware. Because it stores information about user preferences and browsing history, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Anti-spyware applications are designed to mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus / anti-spyware scanning procedures.
Browsers have built in privacy settings that offer different levels of Cookie acceptance – such as the auto-validity and auto-delete period at the end of a web session.
10. Other security issues related to Cookies
Because all Internet users have the right to protection of their online identity, it is advisable to be informed about the possible security risks. Since these files constantly exchange information between the browser and the site you visit, information transmitted through cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized people or programs. For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted / unsecured network – as is the case for certain Wi-Fi networks.
Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to incorrect 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 the information transmitted through cookies. For these reasons, it is essential to pay more attention to settings that protect your personal information online.
