Permanent cookies - are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website, but they may be removed by the user at any time.

What are cookies placed by third parties?

Certain parts of content on specific sites can be placed on the accessed website, by third parties through banners, boxes or links - and all of these tools may contain cookies. They are called "third party cookies" for they are placed by the owner of the respective website, and the third-party providers are subject to the laws and privacy policies of the website owner.

What type of information is stored and accessed via cookies?

Cookies retain information in a small text file which allows a website to recognize a browser. The web-server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (e.g.: settings of the language in which you wish to access a site; keeping a user logged in the webmail account; online banking security; preservation of products in the shopping basket).

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

  • Cookies are the focus of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.
  • Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising - but only the fact it will not be able to recognize your preferences and interests, evidenced by your browsing behavior.
  • Examples of important uses of cookies (that do not require user authentication through an account):
    • Content and services tailored to the users preferences;
    • Offers tailored to the interests of users - withholding passwords, language preferences (e.g.: displaying search results in Romanian);
    • Preserving of child protection filters on the Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
    • Providing advertising more relevant to users;
    • Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user arrives on a website (e.g.: via search engines, directly, from other websites etc.). Websites run these reviews of their use to improve the sites for the benefit of the users.

Security and confidentiality issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text-type formats. There are composed of pieces of code so they cannot be enforced either can auto-run. 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.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Since they store information about the users. 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 the cookies to be deleted in anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning proceedings.

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.
