What is a “cookie”?
A cookie is a small text file stored on the visitor’s computer.
The cookie is set at the request of a web server in a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome). In general, they are “passive” files and do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware.
A cookie is composed of two parts: the name and the value of the cookie. The lifespan of a cookie is limited. Only the servers that can send cookies can access them when the user returns to the website associated with that server.
How are cookies used by this site?
A visit to this site may place cookies for the following purposes:
• site usage (certain sections – such as comparison sections – cannot function properly without cookies)
• analysis of visitors’ site navigation
• geotargeting (to monitor users’ geographical origins)
• registration (to save account login data)
• advertising (to limit the number of banner displays).
How can I stop cookies?
Browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “Preferences” -> “Options” menu.
Refusing or disabling cookies may make certain sections of the site unusable.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies are not viruses, so they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again.
Cookies store information about users’ preferences and browsing history and can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products mark cookies to be deleted during virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, their lifespan, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a specific site.
Through cookies, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website. If an unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
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 incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to send information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites.
