Cookies are not so bad
- It is worth remembering that cookies are not used to identify users and on their basis no identity is determined in any way; cookies identify computer and browser data used to browse websites – they allow, for example, to find out whether a given computer has already visited the website.
- The data obtained from “cookies” are in no way combined with personal data of users obtained, e.g. during registration on websites; they are not harmful to us or to our computers or smartphones – they do not affect the way they work.
- They do not cause configuration changes in end devices or in the software installed on these devices, and default parameters of “cookies” allow you to read the information contained therein only to the server that created them.
