What are cookies?

The term “cookie” refers to cookie modules and similar technologies through which information can be automatically collected. When you visit our website, cookie modules may be set in your web browser by us.

A cookie module is a small amount of information stored on a computer to identify the browser during interactions on websites.

A browser allows a website to access only the cookie modules set by that website, not those set by other websites.

Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

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. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and commonly used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others. Here are some tips to ensure worry-free browsing with the help of cookies:

  • Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security in their use.
  • If you don’t mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.
  • If you share computer access, consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when the browsing session is closed.
  • Install and constantly update anti-spyware applications.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Ensure that your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting vulnerabilities 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 to browse the internet with confidence. Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain sites 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 configure your browser to not accept these cookies or to accept cookies from a specific site. However, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments. All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser.
