Cookies im Internet: Das musst du wissen

We are informed that cookies allow us to be tracked.

Where I do not agree is that the partner with whom you are “associated” in this case Swisscom, and with whom the subscription prices are the most expensive, allows itself to transmit information collected from its customers to “partners”, to enable us to make “proposals” which they believe might interest us…

It was nice when we traveled on the internet without being bombarded with follow-up that we didn’t care about.

If that’s too difficult, there are thousands of other sources that you can find via Google, for example. It’s not possible to understand modern technology without your own commitment and effort.

What always blows me away is the sheer number of cookies that appear in the privacy statements of some websites. Is this part of the reason why computers become slower over time?

The cookies are only accessed in connection with the web (browser), i.e. local applications such as Office do not become slower as a result. What makes the computer slower over time is, for example, the garbage that is left behind when you install and uninstall programs. The ongoing updates/upgrades are also not beneficial for performance in the long run.

Therefore, for example, you should not upgrade a Win10 to a Win11 or install a Win11 over an existing Win10, but rather set up the system completely from scratch (clean install) when making such a big jump. It takes a lot of effort to get everything reinstalled and set up, but it’s worth it. Of course, you have to back up your data before taking such a step.

What always annoys me is that you can’t access many websites if you don’t accept cookies. So the choice remains: accept the cookie or refrain from visiting the site.

Completely agree with the previous comment!

How will we save the planet when the entire system is designed to encourage overconsumption of all kinds of unnecessary products?
