Cookies use text-only formats and are not made up of pieces of code, which is why they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate again.
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 can create. Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, the information contained in the Cookie can be intercepted.
Other Cookie-based attacks involve missetting Cookies on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unsecured channels. Attackers can then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain Sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method for protecting your personal information.
