All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings can be accessed, as a general rule, from the "options" section or in the "preferences" menu of your browser.
Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive legally compliant online advertising, rather that said online advertising will not take into account your individual preferences and interests, as highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important cookie uses (which do not require user authentication through an account):
- Adapting content and services to user preferences - categories of products and services;
- Adapting offers to users' interests;
- Remembering passwords;
- Remembering child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
- Limiting the frequency of ads - limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website;
- Providing user-relevant advertising;
- Measuring, optimizing and adapting analysis features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites etc.). Websites make use of these metrics to improve their services for the benefit of users.
10. Security and privacy issues
As a general rule, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity periods and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular website. Other security issues related to cookies:
Customizing your browser's cookie settings in order to reflect a comfortable level of security for you to use cookies.
