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

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.

far too complicated and hidden dogmatic

@Weppopau25

You are free to look for other sources on the Internet that are simpler and less dogmatic.

I find it annoying that comments are included in our research!

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?

these cookies are annoying and disruptive
