General Information About Cookies.
Cookies are small files that are saved by your browser on your computer. Should you open another browser on your computer, the same cookies will not be transferred to this browser. Cookies usually consist of four parameters:
● Name on cookie
● The unique ID of the cookie
● How long the designated cookie should be saved on your machine.
● A domain that the cookie is applicable to.
Because of the last clause, it is very hard to misuse Cookies. One Cookie alone has very little value before it becomes part of a database. Therefore it will have little or no value if someone should try to move it over to another domain, without access to the relevant database.
You Can Turn Off Cookies.
It is possible to turn off Cookies on your browser. However, you should be aware that many webpages might not function fully if you turn Cookies off. You will for example not be able to shop online, log in to social media such as Facebook, twitter, Google+ and so on.
