What are cookies?
Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed by request issued by a web server, a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox).
Cookies are completely “passive” (they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard driver).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. The duration of the existence of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 major categories of cookies:
1. Session cookies: they are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it can store them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window;
2. Persistent cookies: are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device and are activated again when you visit the site that created that specific cookie.
Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting.
These are known as “third party cookies” or cookies placed by third parties.
They store a user’s interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising for them.
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links a web browser (user) to a specific web server (website). If a browser accesses 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: eg – online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are for single use only (such as session cookies), therefore they are not maintained once the user leaves the site. Other cookies are maintained and reused each time the user returns to the site (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time by using the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Some sections of the content of some sites may be provided through third-party cookies as in the case of an advertisement. Such cookies may be placed on the site and are called cookies placed by third parties because they are not placed by the owner of the site. Such third parties are in turn obliged to comply with the applicable legal regulations and privacy policies of the owner of the site.
Do cookies contain personal data?

Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies represent the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
– Content and services adapted to the user’s preferences – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
– Offers adapted to users’ interests – password retention, language preferences (Ex: displaying search results in Romanian).
– Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
– Limiting the frequency of ads – limiting the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
– Providing more relevant advertising for 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 (eg through search engines, directly from other websites). uri etc). Websites conduct these analyzes of their use to improve the sites for the benefit of users.
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 auto-run.
Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate 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 users’ 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 constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures.
Other security issues related to cookies:
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.
The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (settings of the language in which you want to access a site;)
What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted.
Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of personal information protection.

• Customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you to use cookies.
• If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing 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 the sites that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session.
• Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.

Many of the cookie-based attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.
