7. Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited websites, including the largest ones, use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most common and used sites, including: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips to help you navigate without worries, but with the help of cookies:

• customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you to use cookies;

• if you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data;

• if you share access to your computer, you can consider adjusting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is an option to access the websites that place cookies and to delete any visit information, at the end of the browsing session;

• install and constantly update your antispyware applications. Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software; or

• make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet - local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the Internet with confidence.
