Web developers use them to perform speci몭c functions. They also assist users in navigating a website. Cookies are found on most websites. Some sites may request you to either accept or decline them. The ques몭on of whether or not to accept cookies is one that puzzles many. It is because many people worry that accep몭ng cookies can lead to privacy infringement. Cookies are a must for a website as per the HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA regula몭ons. Some programs, such as the CSA cyber programs, ensure that private en몭몭es are protected. The programs also ensure that service providers can also manage the security of their websites well. Furthermore, organiza몭ons are required to no몭fy users of any cookies present. The no몭fica몭on is usually a pop‐up reques몭ng user to agree to the cookies. Cookies ensure that websites can use and collect a user's browsing experience and informa몭on. The cri몭cal point to note is that cookies cannot research or dig your data, informa몭on, or search your device by themselves. They only store private informa몭on through ad tracking and form informa몭on. In addi몭on, cookies ensure that browsers can recall a user's previous web browsing se몭ngs, like shopping cart items.  Types of cookies Third‐party cookies The third‐party cookies are linked to one website and help track someone's general browsing ac몭vi몭es. The cookies generate informa몭on about your browsing habits, like the type of sites you visit the most. The informa몭on gathered is either sold to other companies or used by the company that owns the cookie.  Tracking cookies Tracking cookies stores and tracks a user's preference. Therefore, the website can recall any changes made to your preferences. For instance, your computer may recall your language preferences. The tracking cookies can stay in your computer's hard drive for a long period. Session cookies The server uses the session cookies to store a user's ac몭vi몭es on a par몭cular page. Therefore, users can easily con몭nue from where they were on the page. Thus, you do not have to start naviga몭ng again. Cookies privacy issues Cookies are usually in plain text; thus, they are not viruses. They are not comprised of codes; thus, they do not self‐execute or be instructed to execute. Furthermore, they cannot spread to other computer networks or replicate themselves. Therefore, cookies do not act or perform any func몭ons that viruses do.

Cookies generally are not major security threats, but an individual can use cookies for malicious purposes. The individual can leverage the cookies via web applica몭ons to steal users' informa몭on. Similarly, individuals with malicious intent can use the cookies as spyware. Therefore, companies must par몭cipate in the CSA cyber programs to learn how to protect their infrastructure. Furthermore, these cyber programs ensure that companies and individuals understand the significance of not hacking into other users' computers. The an몭‐spyware present in the market understands the risks that come with cookies. Therefore, they may flag cookies as necessary items for dele몭on during spyware and virus scans. Cookies store users' informa몭on, thus are a privacy risk. But, the latest advancement in browsers allows for privacy policies. The privacy policy ensures that you know which data is collected and how it is used. Furthermore, you can customize your browser to delete third‐party cookies. Cookies by themselves are not a cybersecurity threat. But individuals using them may use them for malicious intent. Therefore, it is crucial to read the privacy policy before accep몭ng any cookies. Also, ensure to delete accumulated cookies in your computer regularly.
