Cookies cannot be run on your computer, used to deliver viruses, or allow access to your hard drive, even if cookies are stored there.

All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “Options” menu or the “Preferences” menu. To understand these settings, use the “Help” option of your browser.

Security and privacy issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed, nor can they self-run, duplicate or replicate to other networks to run or replicate again.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
Cookies are not dangerous, but because the information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during 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 (ex: an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve missetting cookies on servers, which can be exploited by attackers.
It is important to know that disabling cookies will not allow users access to the most widespread and used sites including Gmail, Yahoo, Youtube, and others. There are some basic safety measures you can take to browse safely with the help of cookies.
- customize your browser cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you. You can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share your computer with other people, you can set your browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close your browser.
- install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
- make sure your browser is always up to date.
Many of the cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weak points of old versions of browsers.
