A JavaScript blocker like NoScript is also recommended. Many websites have integrated external Javascripts, which produce, among other things, cookies, trackers, etc. from and for third parties, especially advertisers.

However, handling Javascript blockers requires a certain level of knowledge in order to find out which scripts are relevant for the correct operation of a website.

In addition, more and more sites are making the proper functioning of their site dependent on scripts from data collectors (e.g. Google Analytics, Doubleclick).

By the way, Swisscom.ch also uses a data collector: tiqcdn.com. But Swisscom.ch also works without this data octopus.

What is the Swisscom community. Moreover yesterday I had a problem with my TV and while resetting it I had questions on my TV asking me if I accepted cookies or not. It was the first time. I imagine I did well following your article? THANKS

Many websites remind us every time of an article that we looked at on the front page in case we forgot it and that’s annoying.

To protect my security, every time I log out (PC) or at most return to the browser, I delete the cookies, especially immediately before and after online banking, and other sites where you have a registered account for the pagamento.

The rest of the sites, I evaluate… and yet one-off we need to clean the cookies, both on the PC and on the smartphone, just to empty the memory, and who knows for what other interests of others and not of ours…. Empty as soon as possible possible or you remember, this is my suggestion.

for laypeople rel. difficult to understand

great, but too complicated….!

The basics are easy to understand. But when it comes to actions and changes, it becomes more difficult.

simply too complicated for laypeople.

yes, it cleared it up a little, but not enough

is often incomprehensible to laypeople. you always have to try to find out what it really means.

Such definitions are very useful for people of the older generation. You probably know roughly what they mean, but you can’t be sure. So thank you very much.

Thanks for the info, I see that everything is oriented towards “Merchandising” which is more and more aggressive. We look for information and spend our time “Scrolling” to find the essentials and continue reading what really interests us. I learned from the media that Swisscom is moving its call centers abroad. Well done. You contribute to the economic growth of Europe…

Finally explanations for terms that are understandable even for older users.

It is actually a very complex area that has been explained here as simply as possible. Even as a layperson you can’t avoid dealing intensively with the matter. Anyone who wants to drive a car has to put in a lot of effort and first learns it in theory and practice. And in the same way, you should familiarize yourself with the material before using modern media so as not to swim in the fog.

As always …

At the beginning you think, cool, I can learn something again and at the end you know a lot…

Most people are probably reading this on the phone and still have no idea what to do!!

In the last chapter there are some options for what you can do, including links to them. And if you don’t understand this, you can’t avoid further education in this area or seeking professional help.

No, too difficult for me to understand.

Although I’m told about it every time I go to my PC, I don’t see what the point is
