Cookie security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses. Cookies use a plain text format. They cannot be executed, or make copies of themselves and spread to other networks to execute and replicate again.

They CAN be used for malicious purposes though. Since they store information about a user's browsing preferences and history, both on a specific site and browsing among several sites, cookies can be used to act as a form of spyware.

Most browsers have built in privacy settings that provide differing levels of cookie acceptance, expiration time, and disposal after a user has visited a particular site.
