Do we have better technology than cookie in website?
There are several alternatives to cookies that are used for tracking and storing data on websites, such as local storage and session storage in web browsers, and IndexedDB and Web SQL databases. Additionally, technologies like server-side storage, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens, and browser fingerprinting are also used to track users and store data on websites.
Recently, Privacy-Preserving technologies also gaining popularity like the use of differential privacy, Federated learning, and secure multiparty computation to achieve the same results as cookies but with more privacy.
It depends on the specific use case and the requirements of the website or application, as different technologies have their own advantages and limitations.
What is differential privacy, Federated learning and secure multiparty computation?
Differential privacy is a mathematical framework for protecting the privacy of individuals in a dataset. It ensures that information about any one person in a dataset cannot be inferred from the aggregate statistics that are released about that dataset. This is accomplished by adding random noise to the data before it is released, which makes it difficult to determine the identity of any one individual from the aggregate statistics.
Federated learning is a machine learning technique where multiple devices, such as smartphones or IoT devices, work together to train a model without sharing their data. Instead, the devices share only the updates to the model parameters that are derived from their local data. This allows for training models on large amounts of data without compromising the privacy of individual users.
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) is a technique for allowing multiple parties to jointly compute a function on their private inputs while keeping those inputs private. This is done by using techniques such as secret sharing and secure multi-party protocols, which allow the parties to perform computations on encrypted data without revealing their inputs to other parties. It can be used to train models on private data without leaking information.
What data that website get if we use Privacy-Preserving technologies?
If a website uses privacy-preserving technologies such as differential privacy, federated learning, and secure multiparty computation, the data that the website can access and collect from users will be limited in comparison to using traditional techniques like cookies.
With differential privacy, the website can only access aggregate statistics about the data, such as the average or total, and not information about any specific individual. Federated learning allows the website to access updates to the model parameters, but not the individual data used to train the model. Secure multiparty computation allows the website to access the results of computations performed on private data, but not the private data itself.
In general, privacy-preserving technologies are designed to protect the privacy of individual users by limiting the amount of personal data that can be accessed and collected by the website, and by making it more difficult to identify individuals based on the data that is collected.
What we can do if website not deploy privacy-preserving tech, just because of they want personal data?
If a website is not using privacy-preserving technologies and is instead collecting personal data without your consent, there are a few things you can do to protect your privacy:
- Read the website’s privacy policy: Make sure you understand what data the website is collecting, how it will be used, and who it will be shared with.
- Limit the amount of personal data you provide: Only provide the minimum amount of personal data necessary to use the website or service.
- Use a virtual private network (VPN) or a proxy server: This can help to encrypt your internet connection and make it more difficult for the website to track your online activities.
- Use browser extensions and plugins: There are a number of browser extensions and plugins available that can help to block tracking cookies and protect your privacy.
- Use alternative services: If a website’s data collection practices are a concern, consider using an alternative service that has a better privacy policy.
- File a complaint: If you feel that a website is collecting personal data without your consent or in violation of privacy laws, you can file a complaint with your national data protection authority, who will investigate the matter.
It’s important to remember that, even if a website is not using privacy-preserving technologies, you still have the right to protect your personal data and privacy. By being informed and taking control of your personal data, you can reduce the risk of your personal data being misused or mishandled.
Why VPN or proxy server can use to protect activities tracking?
VPNs and proxy servers are used to protect online activities from being tracked by encrypting the internet connection.
When you connect to a VPN, all of your internet traffic is routed through an encrypted tunnel to the VPN server. This means that anyone trying to track your online activities, such as your internet service provider (ISP) or a website you are visiting, will only be able to see that you are connected to a VPN server, and not what you are doing online.
Similarly, when you use a proxy server, your internet traffic is routed through the proxy server before it reaches its final destination. This also allows to encrypt your connection and hide your IP address, making it more difficult for websites to track your online activities.
Additionally, using a VPN or proxy server can also help to protect your privacy by making it more difficult for websites to track your location and gather information about your device and browsing habits. This can be especially useful if you are using a public Wi-Fi network, as these networks are often unsecured and easy to intercept.
It’s important to note that a VPN or proxy server will only protect your online activities from being tracked by your ISP or website you are visiting. It will not protect you from hackers or other malicious actors who may still be able to intercept your internet traffic if they have access to the same VPN or proxy server you are using.
What happen if I block cookie in browser option?
If you block cookies in your browser, websites will not be able to store any information on your computer or device. This means that you will not be able to use certain features on the website, such as shopping carts, personalization, or login functionality. Additionally, the website will not be able to track your browsing history or preferences, which can be used for targeted advertising.
Blocking cookies can also make it more difficult for websites to track your online activities, which can help to protect your privacy. However, it’s important to note that some websites may still be able to track your browsing history through other means, such as browser fingerprints or IP addresses.
In addition, Some website may not work properly, because cookies store information that the website needs to function, such as login credentials, preferences and browsing history. Without cookies, the website may not be able to remember your preferences or keep you logged in.
Also, some analytics tools used by website use cookies to track the number of visitors to the website, the pages they visit, and other information that can be used to improve the website. If cookies are blocked, website owners will not be able to access this information, which can make it more difficult to improve the website.
Overall, blocking cookies in your browser can help to protect your privacy, but it can also limit the functionality of some websites. You may need to weigh the trade-offs and decide what is most important to you.
What is the most dangerous cookie activity?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device by websites you visit. While cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, some cookie activities can be considered more dangerous than others.
One of the most dangerous cookie activities is when third-party cookies are used to track your browsing history across multiple websites. Third-party cookies are placed by a domain other than the one you are visiting, which means that they can be used to collect information about your browsing habits even when you are not on the website that placed the cookie. This information can then be used for targeted advertising or other purposes.
Another dangerous activity is when cookies are used to store sensitive information such as login credentials, financial information, or personal information. If a website is not properly securing cookies, this information can be accessed by hackers, which can lead to identity theft or financial fraud.
Additionally, some cookies, called “super cookies” are very hard to delete and can be used to track your browsing history even after you have deleted your cookies.
Overall, the most dangerous cookie activities are those that can be used to track your browsing history and collect sensitive information without your knowledge or consent. It’s important to be aware of the types of cookies that are being used on the websites you visit and to take steps to protect your privacy, such as blocking third-party cookies, using browser extensions that can block or manage cookies, or using a VPN or proxy server to encrypt your internet connection.
How to delete “super cookies”. I think I found them in my Safari browser? I cleared them but after they come back.
“Super cookies” are a type of cookie that are difficult to delete and can be used to track your browsing history even after you have cleared your regular cookies.
To delete super cookies in Safari browser, you can try the following steps:
- Open Safari and click on “Safari” in the menu bar, then select “Preferences”.
- Click on the “Privacy” tab, and then select “Manage Website Data”.
- Search for any suspicious or unfamiliar website names, and select them, then press the “Remove” button.
- You can also click on “Remove All” to delete all website data.
- Close the Preferences window and restart Safari.
It’s important to note that, these steps above will delete all website data including regular cookies, so you may need to sign in to websites again or re-set your preferences.
Another way to delete super cookies is by using a third-party app such as CCleaner or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which can be used to scan your computer for super cookies and other types of malware.
Additionally, you can also use browser extensions such as Privacy Badger, Ghostery or Disconnect that can block or manage cookies and prevent super cookies from being stored on your computer.
It’s also important to note that, some super cookies are stored in the browser cache and history, you should clear them as well.
It’s important to keep in mind that no method is foolproof and that you may have to periodically check and clear super cookies as they can come back.
What techniques that super cookies use to come back?
Super cookies are a type of cookie that are difficult to delete and can persist even after you have cleared your regular cookies. They use a variety of techniques to come back and re-establish themselves on your computer or device. Some of these techniques include:
- Flash Cookies: These are cookies that are stored using Adobe Flash technology, which is often used for videos and other interactive content on websites. Flash cookies are not typically deleted when you clear your regular cookies, so they can be used to re-create regular cookies that you have deleted.
- ETag Cookies: These are a type of cookie that are stored on the client-side but managed by the server, they are used to check if a cached resource is still valid, if it isn’t, the browser will request the resource again. They are also known as “evercookies” and are hard to remove.
- Silverlight Cookies: These are cookies that are stored using Microsoft Silverlight technology, which is similar to Adobe Flash. Silverlight cookies can also be used to re-create regular cookies that you have deleted.
- Zombie Cookies: These are cookies that are stored using a combination of client-side and server-side techniques, which makes them difficult to delete. They can be used to re-create regular cookies that you have deleted and also to track your browsing history even after you have cleared your cookies.
- HTML5 Local Storage: It’s a new feature of HTML5 that allows web pages to store data on the client side (in the browser) and it’s not deleted when the browser’s cookie is cleared.
These techniques allow super cookies to persist on your computer or device, even after you have cleared your regular cookies. It is important to be aware of these techniques and to use tools and methods that can help to remove super cookies, such as using third-party apps, browser extensions, or clearing browser cache and history.
For ETag Cookies, what is the mechanism to activate client to request resource again?
ETag (Entity Tag) cookies are a type of cookie that are stored on the client-side but managed by the server. They are used to check if a cached resource (such as an image, stylesheet or javascript file) is still valid. The mechanism for activating the client to request the resource again is based on the ETag value.
When a client (such as a web browser) requests a resource from a server, the server responds with the resource along with an ETag value. The ETag value is a unique identifier that is associated with the current version of the resource. The client then stores the ETag value along with the resource in its cache.
When the client requests the same resource again, it sends the ETag value back to the server along with the request. The server then checks the ETag value against the current version of the resource. If the ETag value matches the current version of the resource, the server sends back a “304 Not Modified” response, indicating that the resource in the client’s cache is still valid and does not need to be re-downloaded.
If, however, the ETag value does not match the current version of the resource, the server sends back the updated resource along with a new ETag value. The client then updates its cache with the new resource and ETag value.
This process allows the client to request resources only when they have been modified, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network and increasing the performance of the website.
However, ETag cookies can be used as a super cookie mechanism, as the ETag value can be used to uniquely identify a client and track their browsing history even after the regular cookies have been cleared.
If the web server need data such as e-commerce basket, can we use Privacy-Preserving technologies instead of cookies?
Yes, it is possible to use Privacy-Preserving technologies instead of cookies to store data such as an e-commerce basket on a web server. Some examples of Privacy-Preserving technologies that can be used for this purpose include:
- Homomorphic Encryption: This is a method of encrypting data in such a way that it can be operated on while still in its encrypted form. This allows the web server to perform calculations on the encrypted data (such as adding or removing items from a basket) without ever having to decrypt it.
- Secure Multi-Party Computation: This is a technique that allows multiple parties (such as a web server and a client) to jointly compute a function on their data without revealing their inputs to each other. This can be used to perform calculations on an e-commerce basket without revealing the contents of the basket to the web server.
- Federated Learning: This is a technique that allows multiple parties (such as a web server and a client) to jointly train a machine learning model without sharing their data. This can be used to build a machine learning model that can predict a user’s shopping basket based on their browsing history, without revealing the contents of the basket to the web server.
These technologies can help to protect the privacy of users by keeping their data secure and private while still allowing the web server to perform the necessary calculations and operations. However, it’s important to note that these technologies are still being researched and developed and they might not be suitable for all use cases and might have some limitations.
Can CSRF protect data from cookies?
CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) is a technique used to protect against unauthorized actions on a website. It is designed to prevent an attacker from tricking a user into performing an action on a website, such as making a purchase or changing their account information, without their knowledge or consent.
CSRF protection can be implemented by including a unique token (often called a CSRF token) in forms and links on a website. When a user submits a form or clicks a link, the token is sent along with the request to the server. The server then checks that the token is valid before processing the request.
However, CSRF protection is not directly related to cookies and does not protect data stored in cookies from being accessed or modified by an attacker. Cookies are stored on the client-side and can be accessed by any website that the user visits, regardless of whether a CSRF token is present or not.
To protect data stored in cookies, it is important to use secure cookie flags such as “HttpOnly” and “Secure” which will prevent JavaScript or other malicious scripts from accessing the cookie data. Additionally, you should use a secure connection (HTTPS) to encrypt the data in transit and prevent eavesdropping.
It’s also important to note that CSRF and cookies protection are complementary, they both protect against different types of attacks. While CSRF protection prevents unauthorized actions on a website, cookies protection prevents unauthorized access to stored data on client-side.
In my opinion, it is not safety for common people who use internet today without knowledge. Are there any better safety technologies to use for common people?
It’s true that many people may not have the technical knowledge to protect themselves online. However, there are several technologies and best practices that can help to improve their online security and privacy. Some examples include:
- VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection between a user’s device and the internet. This can help to protect against hackers, snoopers, and other malicious actors trying to intercept their internet traffic.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA adds an extra layer of security to an account by requiring a user to provide a one-time code in addition to their password. This can help to prevent unauthorized access even if a user’s password is compromised.
- Ad-blocker: Ad-blockers can block unwanted ads and trackers, which can help protect users from malvertising, tracking and unwanted profiling.
- Antivirus software: Antivirus software can help protect a user’s device from malware and other malicious software that can steal their personal information or take control of their device.
- Browser extensions: There are a lot of browser extensions that can be used to protect users’ privacy and security. They can block unwanted ads and trackers, encrypting the connection, and even control permissions for the websites.
- Privacy-Preserving Technologies: As I mentioned earlier, Privacy-Preserving technologies such as Homomorphic Encryption, Secure Multi-Party Computation, and Federated Learning, can be used to protect user’s privacy while still allowing the web server to perform the necessary calculations and operations.
It’s important to note that these technologies are not a silver bullet, they can’t guarantee 100% protection. However, using them and keeping them updated will greatly decrease the risk of being hacked, and increase the overall security and privacy of the common people.
How about the private browser feature to use to protect cookies?
Many web browsers now include a “private browsing” or “incognito” mode, which is designed to help protect users’ privacy. When a user is browsing in private mode, the browser will not save their browsing history, search history, or any cookies that are created. This can help to prevent other people who use the same device from seeing what the user has been browsing and also prevent the cookies from being stored on the user’s device.
However, it’s important to note that private browsing mode does not provide complete privacy or security. While it can help to prevent other people from seeing what the user has been browsing, it does not protect against hackers, snoopers, or other malicious actors who may be trying to intercept their internet traffic or steal their personal information.
Additionally, some websites may still be able to track users even when they are using private browsing mode by using other methods such as browser fingerprints, IP address tracking or using other tracking technologies.
Also, some websites can still save information like login credentials, form data, bookmarks, and download history even when you’re using private browsing mode.
Overall, private browsing mode can be useful as an additional layer of protection, but it should not be relied upon as the sole means of protecting a user’s privacy or security. It’s important to also use other privacy and security tools such as VPNs, ad-blockers, and browser extensions as well as being aware of the website’s privacy policy and how they handle your data.
What do you think, How long that the Privacy-reserve technologies will replace the cookies?
It is difficult to predict exactly when Privacy-Preserving technologies will completely replace cookies as the primary means of tracking and collecting user data on websites.
Cookies have been around for more than 20 years and have become a widely accepted and understood technology. Many websites rely on cookies to function properly and to provide a personalized experience for users. Therefore, it may take some time before Privacy-Preserving technologies are widely adopted and fully replace cookies.
That being said, Privacy-Preserving technologies are becoming more prevalent and are being used in more and more places. As concerns about privacy and data security continue to grow, it’s likely that more and more websites and companies will begin to adopt these technologies in order to better protect user’s data.
Additionally, the regulations and laws around data privacy are becoming stricter, which will push companies to seek for more secure ways to handle user’s data, and Privacy-Preserving technologies are one of the most promising ways to achieve that.
In summary, Privacy-Preserving technologies may not replace cookies overnight, but it’s quite possible that in the near future, we will see more and more companies and websites adopt these technologies as the primary means of tracking and collecting user data, alongside the further development of the regulations and laws around data privacy.
Are there some Bottle necks to use Privacy-Preserving technologies such as the processing power of client and server?
There are several potential bottlenecks to using Privacy-Preserving technologies, including:
- Processing power: Privacy-Preserving technologies such as Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) and Homomorphic Encryption (HE) require significant computational resources to perform the complex mathematical operations required to encrypt and decrypt data. This can be a bottleneck for both client and server-side processing, especially for resource-constrained devices such as mobile phones.
- Latency: Privacy-Preserving technologies can add additional latency to the data processing and transmission process, which can be a bottleneck for real-time applications.
- Storage: Privacy-Preserving technologies such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) require large amounts of storage to store the encrypted data, this can be a bottleneck for resource-constrained devices, and also can add additional cost to the server.
- Scalability: Privacy-Preserving technologies can be challenging to scale to large datasets and high traffic loads, which can be a bottleneck for large-scale applications.
- Maturity of the technology: Some Privacy-Preserving technologies are still in the research phase and not yet fully developed, which can limit their availability and use in production systems.
That being said, researchers and developers are actively working on solutions to overcome these bottlenecks and make Privacy-Preserving technologies more efficient, scalable and user-friendly. Also, the development and advancements in the field of Privacy-Preserving technologies is moving quickly and new solutions are emerging constantly.Regenerate response

These tools can give you deeper insight into the cookies on your device, but it is important to be cautious when editing or deleting cookies as it may cause some issues on website you visit.
Can one website read cookie from another website in a browser?
In general, a website can only read cookies that it has set itself in a browser. However, there are some exceptions to this rule:
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks: If a website is vulnerable to an XSS attack, an attacker could potentially steal cookies from other websites that a user has open in the same browser.
- Third-party cookies: Some websites use third-party services (such as advertising networks) that can set their own cookies on a user’s device. These cookies can be read by the third-party service across different websites.
- Subdomains: Cookies can also be shared between subdomains of the same website. For example, if a user visits example.com, that website can set a cookie that can also be read by subdomains such as foo.example.com and bar.example.com.
It is important to note that most browser now have a feature called “same-site” cookie, which is a flag that can be set on a cookie to indicate whether it should be sent along with cross-site requests. This flag is used to help mitigate the risks of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and information leakage via cross-site scripting (XSS).
Additionally, browser also have a feature to block cross-site tracking which is a technique that allows companies to track your browsing history across different websites, by blocking third-party cookies.
Is Brave browser has “same-site” cookie feature?
Yes, Brave browser has a feature that supports “same-site” cookie. Same-site cookie is a flag that can be set on a cookie to indicate whether it should be sent along with cross-site requests. The Brave browser uses this flag to protect users from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and information leakage via cross-site scripting (XSS) by only sending cookies with “same-site” attribute in a first-party context. This means that only the website that set the cookie can read or access it, and it will not be sent with requests to other websites. This feature is enabled by default in the Brave browser, providing an additional layer of security for users.
Which Safari versions have “same-site” feature?
The “same-site” cookie feature was first introduced in Safari version 11.1 and later versions. So, Safari version 11.1 and above have the same-site feature. This feature is designed to mitigate the risk of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and information leakage via cross-site scripting (XSS) by only sending cookies with “same-site” attribute in a first-party context. This means that only the website that set the cookie can read or access it, and it will not be sent with requests to other websites. This feature is enabled by default in Safari, providing an additional layer of security for users.
Can we use private browser feature to do “same-site” feature?
Many private browser features such as incognito mode or private browsing mode can help to prevent your browsing history and search history from being recorded on your device, and it can also prevent some cookies from being stored on your device. However, it does not provide the same level of protection as the “same-site” cookie feature. Same-site cookies are a way for a website to indicate that a cookie should only be sent to the server with requests initiated from the same origin as the target of the cookie. This provides an additional layer of security by limiting the ability of third-party websites to access the cookie. While using a private browser mode will prevent some cookies from being stored, it is not the same as having the same-site feature enabled. To have the same-site feature enabled, you should use a browser that supports this feature, such as Safari 11.1 and above or Brave.Regenerate response
What are tools to prevent “super cookie” to embed in storage or cache?
There are several tools and methods that can be used to prevent “super cookies” from being embedded in storage or cache:
- Use browser extensions: Some browser extensions like “Self-Destructing Cookies” or “I Don’t Care About Cookies” can automatically delete cookies when you close a tab or after a set period of time.
- Use browser settings: Some browsers have built-in settings that allow you to control the cookies that are stored on your device. For example, in Chrome, you can go to the “Privacy and security” section and choose to block third-party cookies or clear all cookies when you close the browser.
- Use anti-virus software: Some anti-virus software, such as “Malwarebytes Anti-Malware” or “Ad-Aware,” can detect and remove super cookies from your device.
- Use private browsing or incognito mode: This mode does not store any browsing history or cookies on your device, so the super cookies will not be able to persist.
- Use VPN: Some VPN services can prevent websites from tracking your browsing activities by encrypting your internet connection and hiding your IP address.
It’s important to note that super cookies are hard to detect and remove, and new ones may be created even if you take steps to remove them. That’s why using a combination of different tools and techniques is the best approach to protect your privacy and security.
The brave browser has “Self-Destructing Cookies” features?
Yes, the Brave browser has a feature called “Shields” which includes a setting for “Self-Destructing Cookies.” This setting allows you to automatically delete cookies when you close a tab or after a set period of time. This can help to prevent super cookies from persisting on your device and protect your privacy.
In addition, Brave also provides other privacy-enhancing features like blocking third-party cookies, blocking trackers, and more. This, along with the Tor integration in Brave, makes it a quite robust browser for privacy-conscious users.
It’s worth noting that even with the self-destructing cookies feature enabled, it’s still possible for websites to use other tracking methods like browser fingerprints to track you. So, it’s recommended to use a combination of different tools and techniques to protect your privacy while browsing.
