What is a cookie?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain any software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
Session cookies - these are stored temporarily in the cookie folder of the web browser so that the browser remembers them until the user exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in/out of a webmail or social networking account)
Persistent Cookies - these are stored on the hard-drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie's default lifetime).
Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting - known as "third party cookies" - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests in order to deliver advertising that is as relevant as possible to the user.
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) to a specific web-server (the 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 convenient services to users: e.g. online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by webservers. The lifetime 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 not retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ("persistent cookies"). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through browser settings.
How are cookies used by this website?
A visit to this site may place cookies for the following purposes:
Site performance cookies
Visitor analysis cookies
Geotargeting cookies
Registration cookies
Advertising cookies.
Cookies for advertising. These cookies may come from third parties.
Cookies for visitor analysis. Each time a user visits this site analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us whether you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie and if not, we will generate one. It allows us to track unique users who visit us and how often. As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used for statistical purposes only. If you are registered we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your e-mail address and username - these are subject to the privacy and confidentiality provisions of our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy as well as the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the protection of personal data.
Geotargeting cookies. These cookies are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target the content - even when you are on our page in English or another language you receive the same advertisement.
Registration cookies. When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to tell us which account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service. It also allows us to associate any comments you post on our site with your username. If you have not selected "keep me logged in", this cookie will automatically delete itself when you close your browser or computer.
Advertising cookies. These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type of advertisement it is and how long it has been since you saw the advertisement. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use cookies belonging to a third party for better targeting of advertising, for example, to show advertisements about vacations if the user has recently visited an article on the site about vacations. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them, so we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, we will be able to deliver advertising to you based on that information.
What information is stored and accessed through 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 enhances the Internet browsing experience (e.g. setting the language in which you want to access a site; keeping a user logged into a webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in your shopping cart).
Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
Content and services tailored to user preferences - categories such as news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to user interests - password retention, language preferences (e.g. displaying search results in Romanian).
Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions)
Limiting the frequency of advertisements - limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a given user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites etc).
Websites run these usage analytics to improve their sites for the benefit of their 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 self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about user preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on many other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of the anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures. Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period 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 possible problems cookies can create. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. 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. The attackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information. Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies. Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost inevitable.
Deactivating cookies will prevent the user from accessing some of the most popular and widely used websites, such as YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others. Here are some tips that can ensure you browse worry-free while still using cookies:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a level of security that is comfortable for you when using cookies.
If cookies do not bother you and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to the computer, you may want to set the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option for accessing websites that place cookies while clearing any visiting information when the browsing session ends.
Install and regularly update antispyware applications. Many spyware detection and prevention apps include the ability to detect attacks on websites. These apps prevent the browser from accessing websites that may exploit browser vulnerabilities or download harmful software.
Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.
How can I stop cookies?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising. It is possible to set it in your browser to stop these cookies from being accepted, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific website. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments. All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or in the "preferences" menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be useful, otherwise you can use your browser's "help" option for more details.
