8. Security and User Privacy Issues

Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data.

However, cookies can be used to the detriment of users, by Spyware programs.

Because they store Information about users' preferences and browsing history, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Anti-spyware applications have the role of marking cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.

9. Other security aspects related to cookies:

Since all Internet users have the right to the protection of their online identity, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Given that through these files Information is constantly exchanged between the browser and the site you are visiting, the Information transmitted through cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network - as is the case with certain Wi-Fi networks.

Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to wrong settings of these files on the servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to the Information transmitted through cookies. For these reasons it is essential that you pay close attention to the settings by which you will protect the personal Information available online.
