What's a Cookie?
A Cookie is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from whom the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed by a web server to a browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) and is complete“passive”(does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: name and content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the duration 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 the web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and in most cases do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 large categories of cookies:
- Session cookies - they are stored temporarily in the web browser's cookies folder so that it can memorize them until the user closes the browser window or dislogates from the website.
- Persistent cookies - They are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and generally depends on the lifetime of the cookie). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at the time - known as' third party cookies’(cookies placed by third parties) - which can be used anonymously to memorize a user's preferences.
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 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 offer comfortable service to users: ex - preferences in terms of online privacy, site language options, shopping baskets or relevant advertising.
What's the life span of a cookie?
Cookies are administered by webservers. The life of a cookie may vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for one session (session cookies) and are not held once by the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time via browser settings.
What are third - party cookies?
Certain content sections on some websites can be provided via third parties / suppliers (e.g. video, an ad, a chat app, etc.). These third parties can also place cookies via the site and they are called“third party cookies”because they are not placed by the owner of the website. Third party suppliers must also comply with the law in force and the privacy policies of the site owner.

They include both cookies from traffic analysis services and cookies placed by certain third party services that offer complementary functionality to the site.
Traffic analysis cookies allow the aggregate measurement of the site traffic, identification of traffic sources, provide information about the most visited or least accessed pages, as well as how users interact with the site. The information listed is collected in aggregate and implicitly completely anonymous. These cookies can come from third parties such as Web Analytics services (Ex: Google Analytics).

What type of information is stored and accessed via cookies?
Cookies keep information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver recognizes your browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookies store important information that improves the experience of browsing the Internet (e.g. keeping a user logged into his user account; keeping products in the shopping cart; keeping products in the Favorite list).
Why are cookies important to the Internet?
Cookies represent the central point of effective Internet operation, helping to generate a friendly and adapted navigation experience for each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make the use of a website more difficult.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will not be receiving online advertising - only that it will be unable to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your navigation behaviour.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user via an account):
- Content and services adapted to user's preferences - categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and governmental services, entertainment sites and travel services.
- Provides adapted to the interests of users - password retention, language preferences (Ex: displaying search results in Romanian).
- Retaining child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
- Limiting the frequency of advertising - limiting the number of advertisements for a particular user on a website.
- Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
- Measurement, optimization and analytical characteristics - such as confirmation of a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Websites run these user analyses to improve the user's sites.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies use plain text formats. They're not made up of pieces of code so they can't be executed or can't run themselves. Consequently, you cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Cookies can be used for negative purposes, however. Because it stores information about the preferences and browsing history of users, both on a specific 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 consistently mark cookies to be deleted in the anti - virus / anti - spyware wipe / scan procedures.
Browsers generally have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, period of validity and automatic deletion after the user has visited a specific site. Other security aspects related to cookies
Since identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is appropriate to know what possible problems may create cookies. Because they constantly transmit information between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorised person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rarely, 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 wrong settings of cookies 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 via unsecured channels. The attackers then use information for the purposes of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
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 largest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that can assure you that you are unconcerned but with the help of cookies:
- Customize your browser settings regarding 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 who uses the computer, you can set long expiration deadlines for the storage of browsing history and personal access data.
- If you share your computer access, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access websites that place cookies and delete any visiting information when the navigation session closes.
- Install antispyware applications and update them constantly.
Many of the spywarere- detection and prevention applications include the detection of attacks on sites. Thus, prevent your browser from accessing websites that could exploit your browser's vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure you have your browser always updated. Many of the cookies - based attacks are made by exploiting the weaknesses of the old browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the most popular websites on the Internet. With a clear understanding of their operating mode and benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can safely navigate the Internet.
