The cookie is a small file, a special text, often encoded, sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back (unmodified) by the browser, each time it accesses that server. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard driver. user). Cookies are used for authentication as well as for tracking user behavior; Typical applications are the retention of user preferences and the implementation of the “shopping cart” system. These files make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences.

Pmaccess can use two types of cookies: per session and fixed (temporary files that remain in the user’s terminal until the end of the session or the closure of the application / web browser). The fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for a period of time in the parameters of the cookie or until they are manually deleted by the user.

In general, an application used to access web pages allows the cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic administration of the cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time the cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the application settings area (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain features of www.pmaccess.ro. Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use. Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, these are almost inevitable; disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most popular and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Examples of important uses of cookies:

Content and services adapted to the user’s preferences – product and service categories.

Access adapted to users’ interests – password retention.

Retaining child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).

Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what kind of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (eg through direct search engines, from other websites etc.). The websites carry out these analyzes of their use to improve the websites for the benefit of the users.

Security and privacy issues: Cookies are NOT viruses and use plain text formats; they are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they self-run. As a result, you cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Because cookies can be used for negative purposes because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, being used as a form of Spyware (consumer activity spying), many anti-spyware products constantly mark cookies for deletion in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.

Generally browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site. Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies may create. Because through them the information between the browser and the website is constantly transmitted in both directions, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg an unsecured WiFi network). Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. It is very important for the User to choose the most appropriate method of protecting personal information and to:

Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level for you of the security of the use of cookies.

Set long deadlines for storing your browsing history and personal access data.

Consider setting the browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close the 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.
