FLASH COOKIES
If the user has Adobe Flash installed on their computer, small files can be stored in that computer's memory by websites that contain Flash items (such as videos). These files are known as "local shared objects" or "flash cookies" and may be used for the same purposes as regular cookies.
When regular cookies are deleted via browser functions, flash cookies are not affected. Thus, a website that uses flash cookies may recognize a user on a new visit, if the data specific to the deleted cookies have also been retained in a flash cookie.
Because flash cookies are not stored on the user's computer in the same way that regular cookies are stored, they are more difficult to identify and delete. Banks and financial sites use such cookies precisely for this reason. Because they are difficult to identify, these cookies are stored on users' computers to allow users to authenticate and prevent fraud, as potential offenders may have the username and password to authenticate, but do not have access to the user's computer. Thus, cookies act as a second level of authentication, in addition to username and password.

TIPS FOR SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE NAVIGATION
Cookies are almost inevitable due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites use them. User access to the most common and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others, will not be allowed after disabling cookies. The following tips can help you navigate worry-free cookies:
• You can customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for the use of cookies for you.
• If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data. If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access the sites that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session;
• Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software. Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the internet with confidence.
OTHER SECURITY ASPECTS RELATED TO COOKIES:
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 during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted.
Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg, an unsecured Wi-Fi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings 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 through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of personal information protection.
