Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated in other networks to be run or replicated again. For they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Other security issues related to cookies
For the identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it should be known what eventual problems cookies may create. For through them there are constantly transmitted information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or an unauthorized person comes in during the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although rare, this can happen if the browser connects to a server by using an unencrypted network (e.g.: an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve wrong setting of the cookies on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, the attackers can make use of this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information via unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for purposes of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is important to be careful in choosing the most suitable method of protection of personal information.
