Question:

Some say that “Cookies” are dangerous. Is it? What are your thoughts on Cookies? Discuss.

Answer:

Cookies are not inherently malicious or dangerous, and can be quite helpful for the website to remember user information to provide a better user experience. For example, cookies can be helpful to customize pages, focus advertising, or allow users to skip login if they were previously logged in on the same browser.

"Tracking cookies" can pose a privacy concern if you are worried about your personal habits being shared with third parties. For instance, if you are visiting a website that hosts advertising from a third-party, the third-party vendor can place a cookie on your computer and now the vendor knows you have visited both sites.

Overall, though, cookies are harmless and come in handy for most websites, especially those with login systems. Since a cookie is a small data file, it is highly unlikely to contain viruses. Also, cookies typically expire after a certain amount of time set by the website and can only be retrieved by the site that set them.  

Explanation / Answer

“Cookies” are NOT dangerous. I completely agree with this. It is one's perception on how he/she sees and takes it. Even if they are then the user always has an option not to use it at all in anyway whatsoever.

"Cookies", as the name suggests are basically Internet cookies or web-browser cookies which are small piece of data sent by the website to the web-browser the user is using to view and access the information published on the webpages at that particular website.

"Cookies" are user friendly and are for constructive purposes to help users browse webpages on different websites easily, quickly, find relevant information per what they are searching for based on keywords they have typed in or the hyper links they have clicked on. They help the users in further browsing the Internet with webpages which are mostly related to what they are looking for.

"Cookies" save the users' login credentials for a certain amount of time or uptill the user has set the time so they need not have to key in their login details repeatedly which some users find it irritating and some users even find it useful so they need not remeber the login credentials for some time thus avoiding typing in the login credentials incorrectly by mistake. Cookies also save users' languages and other settings to help them avoid re-typing or choosing them on different websites.

From the websites' persective and responsibility, they save users' data, their ads settings and show more relevant ads on their next search avoiding unnecessary and irrelevant ads popping up on the webpages without any hassles. Using cookies the users also help the intended websites to know the total number of visitors to their websites.

Cookies are just a combination of letters and numbers and do not save users personal details such as name, email address or phone numbers. As a matter of fact cookies technically cannot be used to run any programs or software on the users' computer track or access information on the hard disk or affect the machine with viruses. Even if they use your basic personal details, they do it to help users auto-fill the forms or fields on the webpages avoding the users to re-type everytime and they can be deleted anytime by the user should they want.

Cookies come with different constructive purposes to help users for a easy, user friendly & effective browsing.
*The 'Preferences' cookies on the websites help users to feel their preferred language, region (showing related information per their regions), personalized webpages with users' own font size and style.
* The 'Security' cookies save the users' login credentials encrypting them thus avoiding access by other unauthorized users.
*'Processes' cookies help users navigate around web pages and access secure sections of the website.
* The Analytics cookies is a tool to help websites and web apps owners to understand how their users interact with their sites or apps.
* The 'Advertising' cookies help users to view advertising more relevant to their needs.
* The 'Session States' cookies save the users' interaction with a website such as the pages they have visited, the number of times they have visited and the most recent ones visited and any error message they found while accessing any particular webpage which helps the website owners to improve creating better webpages.

To further help users, they are in fact given the freedom by the Internet, the different websites and web-browsers which come with the options and settings so the users can either use the cookies completely or not use them at all, delete the existing cookies, enable, disable, allow, block or even partially use them based of any particular websites they visit or for a certain period of time as per their requirements for their privacy purpose for the websites they visit.

However, in case the users do not let the websites save the cookies then most of the websites may not let them login which affects the users negatively or at times the websites may not even work normally.

As a best practice the users can enable the cookies until they browse the Internet and then delete them from the web-browsers as and when they want following the instructions from the browsers' menus before closing the browser.

Hence, again “Cookies” are NOT dangerous.
