4. COOKIE SECURITY
The security of using cookies is one of their main advantages. Cookies cannot transmit viruses or other malicious software to your computer, as they do not contain program code, but only textual information that is used to remember certain data. Thus, cookies do not change the data on the user’s computer and do not affect its work.
Cookies also act as logs, recording user activities and remembering information about their preferences. They allow websites to provide personalized content and improve user experience.
5. LIFETIME OF COOKIES
There are several types of cookies depending on how long they are stored. There are temporary cookies, also called session cookies, which are deleted after the user has left the online service and closed the browser or mobile application, and persistent cookies that persist even after you close your browser or mobile application. If information on the duration of storage of cookies is not specified, it should be assumed that they are persistent and can be stored for up to two years.
It is important to note that cookies are not harmful and cannot transmit viruses or other malicious software to the user’s computer, since the data in them does not change and does not affect the operation of the device.
