What are cookies used for?
They are mainly used to distinguish between users and maintain context. After a user logs in, their browser is sent an encrypted cookie. This is then used to verify the authenticity of the user for all other site requests, such as language preferences. The cookie is deleted when the user logs out. It will also be lost if the user closes their browser or when it expires.
Is it safe?
Cookies do not pose any danger to your computer. Cookies cannot provide the server with any data from your hard drive, they will not divulge the email address or any other information about the user of the browser. A cookie itself is transmitted over an encrypted link and is not stored on a disc, so no one can retrieve it either by capturing it “on the way” or from your disc. In addition, each cookie contains its creation time and is only valid for a short time thereafter. Then it becomes completely useless.
