Well, despite having its benefits, and not being really dangerous, it could be a problem in certain aspects, such as the one we will analyze today, since it has Disadvantages While we cannot avoid (since they will now make us pay), we can reduce.
As we said, accepting cookies on your iPhone, Mac, or any device, does not imply a real risk for your security, but for privacy, since, in my case, after several days looking for a gift, the advertising that appears in all the portals to which I access, is the same, on that product, thus revealing the person who was going to surprise, who was making Searches On this, it is something that, unless you voluntarily interest you, will not appear ads about this.
Therefore, we are giving information to Google, Facebook, and other advertisements, the option to collect our interests so that, subsequently, we are offered personalized ads about those tastes, that is, that everything we usually see in terms of advertisingIt is something that might interest us or we have sought.
This leads us to “spy” the navigation of a friend or relative, and know why things are interested, which should not be dangerous, but sometimes we can ruin us a surprise, since that trip to Disneyland that we had prepared, would not appear casually in all the pages we visit, being able to make the other person understand, which we are planning it.
How to avoid it?
To avoid, in a way, that this happens, but accepting them, since otherwise they will make us pay, we have three methods, which we should use if we want to look for things that, later, do not appear in related.
- Reject non -essential cookies (there is usually an option of “configuring cookies”).
- Use the incognito mode (it does not store any, although we accept them).
- Install trackers or extensions such as Ublock Origin or Privacy Badger.
- Delete them once the navigation or sensitive searches is finished.
Thanks to this, we will avoid the previous problem, although, if you use the computer or mobile alone, and you are not afraid that anyone discovers you anything, may accept them be the best, because sometimes, that personalized advertising is interesting, and, above all, less annoying, because it will recommend things that, in a way, you may like it, despite the fact that they reveal that.
And you, did you know this? Cookies store all types of dataand, although it does a machine, and it is not a human manually, they can know about you much more than you think, so you have to be careful, sometimes, to accept them so lightly. Leave us an opinion about what these kinds of things seem to you.
