A cookie is a small file that is stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies contain various information that the website reads when you visit it again. Most modern websites use them. By themselves, cookies are not harmful, they don’t contain viruses or any other malicious code. They are used for various purposes, for sessions (e.g. login to forums), for baskets in online stores, to display various advanced content on the website (e.g. maps, video), to keep statistics of page visits, to support social network plugins, and also for displaying advertisements tailored to the web user. The legal restriction of cookies is primarily a result of the misuse of cookie technology to track users and thereby encroach on online privacy. Types of cookies can have very different ingredients. Good cookies are very useful for visitors, especially for sessions, logins, shopping carts and similar website tasks. Some cookies are especially useful for website owners. For example, they serve to monitor the amount of visits, i.e. the reach of your website, but they also indirectly benefit end visitors, as they allow content authors to see which contributions on the website are interesting for visitors, and based on feedback, they can bring the website closer to readers with more interesting content. However, some cookies, at least from the point of view of the Information Office, are not good. These unsavory cookies mainly record data about your online activities, which are then processed and the obtained information forwarded to third parties, most often advertisers. For example, this results in different ads being shown to different people online. Everyone sees ads for products and services they are more likely to buy. This enables owners of tracking cookies to earn more from advertising.
The Office of the Information Commissioner distributes cookies primarily based on invasiveness:
Temporary or session cookies
Persistent or stored cookies
Own cookies
Other cookies
Each type of cookie is treated differently in the legislation and guidelines of the commissioner, which makes it difficult for website owners and web developers to achieve compliance with the Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-1) and the Personal Data Protection Act. It instructs website owners to learn in detail about the issue of cookie privacy and to make their online visitors aware of the use of cookies. In the case of more invasive cookies, visitors must obtain consent for their use.
