Weligaa ma ku dhex jirtay fayras ama iskaanka malware-ka ee kombayutarkaga oo la yaabtay tirada fuulitaanka ee “halisyada” ee la ogaaday? Laptop-kaagu hubaal malaha 220 trojans oo ku soo qulqulaya, sax?

Haddii aad u malaynayso inaad isticmaasho xoogaa go'aan ah markaad baadhayso Shabakadda^(Web) oo aad soo dejisanayso faylasha, tani waa wax aan macquul ahayn. Waxa ay u badan tahay, si kastaba ha ahaatee, waa inaad baadhaysay boggaga internetka kuwaas oo si uun ula socday hawshaada.

Si loogu yeedho kukiyada raadraaca xaasidnimo ama khatar waxay noqon kartaa fidsan — si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay u tahay isticmaaluhu inuu go'aamiyo inay yihiin wax mudan in si joogto ah loo baadho oo la tirtiro. Markii la bilaabay Ha Raad^(Track) -raacin , daalacayaal badan ayaa kuu oggolaanaya inaad xannibto inta badan cookies-ka raadraaca. Weli, qaar baa simbiran.

Shirkado kooban oo habkan u isticmaala cookies-ka raadraaca waxa ka mid ah AddThis , Facebook , Google , Quantserve , iyo Twitter .

Kukiyada raadraaca gardarada leh, shirkadahani waxay ogaan karaan goobtaada, macluumaadka qalabka, taariikhda iibka, weydiimaha raadinta, iyo wax ka badan. Mararka qaarkood, xitaa ma ogaan kartid in macluumaadkan la ururinayo. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, wadamada qaar, sida UK, waxay qaateen sharciyo u baahan in website-yada ay ogeysiiyaan isticmaalayaasha ku saabsan xogtooda lagu ururinayo cookies.

Marka la soo koobo, dabagalka cookies-ka ma waxyeeleyn doonaa kombayutarkaga? Maya. Dabagalka cookies-ka ma ku xad-gudbi karaa sirtaada siyaabo aad u qaadan karto mid anshax-darro ah? Haa

Haddii kale, tillaabooyinka kore waxay kaa caawin karaan hubinta in sirtaada la ixtiraamo. Si kastaba ha noqotee, PC-gaagu waa badbaado!

What Are Tracking Cookies and Are They Bad?

Have you ever been in the middle of a vіrus or malware scan on your PC and been surprised at the climbing number of “threats” detected? Your laptop surely doesn’t have 220 trojans festering on it, right?

Assuming you use a bit of discretion while browsing the Web and downloading files, this is highly unlikely. What is likely, however, is that you’ve been browsing websites that have been tracking your activity in some way.

To call tracking cookies malicious or dangerous might be a stretch—however, it’s for the user to determine if they’re something worth regularly scanning for and deleting. With the introduction of Do Not Track, many browsers allow you to block most tracking cookies. Still, some slip through.

In this article, let’s dive into tracking cookies and discuss what they are, how they’re used, and how you can get rid of them.

What are Tracking Cookies?

To understand tracking cookies, let’s first discuss what cookies are. A cookie is a small text file that is used to save user-specific data. For example, when you log in to a website and tick the checkbox to keep yourself logged in for future visits, your browser will store a cookie on your hard drive that the website can later interact with to know your preferences.

Other than storing visitors’ preferences, another benign use for cookies is to store marketing data. This allows websites to show targeted ads to users which may increase their conversion rates. However, tracking cookies often take it a step further.

Some tracking cookies will go with you all across the Internet and relay your personal information and data back to a website when you revisit it. This is commonly used for retargeting advertising purposes.

For example, if a website is running ads served by Google, your activity on that website may carry over with you to an entirely different one that is also displaying Google’s ads.

Are Tracking Cookies Bad?

This mostly depends on what your definition of “bad” is. If you’re someone who is alerted by tracking cookies during a virus scan, be advised that these files are not malicious and will not do damage to your computer.

However, over a long period of time, tracking cookies from major advertising networks can grow to be so large and full of your personal information that they may be seen as invasive. A few companies that utilize tracking cookies in this way include AddThis, Facebook, Google, Quantserve, and Twitter.

With aggressive tracking cookies, these companies can know your location, device information, purchase history, search queries, and so much more. Sometimes, you never even know this information is being collected. However, some countries, like the UK, have adopted laws that require websites to notify users about their data being collected through cookies.

In summary, will tracking cookies damage your PC? No. Can tracking cookies infringe upon your privacy in ways that you may consider to be unethical? Yes.

How Can I Avoid Tracking Cookies?

Thanks to Do Not Track legislation, you can put a stop to many tracking cookies before they even materialize. Every major browser supports this functionality via privacy settings—we even have a guide on enabling Do Not Track in Microsoft Edge.

Google Chrome users can head to the Settings page, click on Advanced, at the bottom of the page, and enable the “Send a “Do Not Track” request with your browsing traffic” option (under Privacy and Security).

Many individual advertisers and websites also offer Do Not Track functionality. Twitter is one example, where going to the Personalization and Data settings will show a variety of tracking-based preferences.

As far as advertisers go, the NAI Consumer Opt-Out page can assist you in identifying and opting out of advertisers who are using tracking cookies on your browser. It supports a mass opt-out feature that really simplifies the process.

You can also go directly to organizations like Oracle and Acxiom to opt out of their third-party, interest-based advertising.

Otherwise, you can clear your browser’s cookies at a regular interval or just get rid of tracking cookies during routine health scans. This is mindful enough to help prevent cookies from growing large enough to where they can be seen as invasive and dangerous.

In closing, the way you handle cookies is a matter of your own preference and discretion. If you think it’s harmless for websites to track your personal data and show you content related to your browsing habits, pay no mind to them. Otherwise, the steps above can help in making sure that your privacy is respected. Either way, your PC is safe!
