You have been informed that the website uses cookies. But what is a cookie?

Cookies are a technology that allows websites to "remember" information about visitors. Without them, the site acts like a goldfish, forgetting the user every time they navigate to a new page. As a result, the site will not be able to offer you login or purchase processing, as it will not "remember" your actions.

 

On the other hand, the lack of cookies means that you are more difficult to track down. Some websites use cookies to collect information about user behavior in order to serve targeted ads. Moreover, individual resources can share this data with other sites, which allows them to know about your interests on various platforms. This has caused concern among many users.

 

Cookies themselves are not good or bad, but it is important to know how to manage them. You can completely disable cookies, but this will cause many sites to stop working correctly — it's like rejecting all music because you don't want to listen to a particular album.

 

A more reasonable approach would be to disable third-party cookies, which will prevent the exchange of information about you between sites. Some browsers, such as Safari, do this automatically.

 

You can also study the policies of specific sites in detail. Most of them have rules explaining how they use cookies.

 

More than 90% of websites use cookies. Understanding how to manage them will help you better control your online privacy.
