'I visited a diabetes awareness site and it asked me whether I will accept all the cookies, is that a trick question?' Well, when we talk about cookies, the first thing to cross our mind is a treat of chocolate and butter crunch. But in the virtual world, cookie is more than a dessert menu and have to be chosen carefully. We might have noticed that whenever we enter into a website it asks for permission to grant access to cookies, it is nothing but a tiny text file stored in the browser of our devices used for collecting our search or interest data. It remembers the interests and likes of the users. In layman's terms, it is a memory chip of the user's information about their likes and wants which uses the data to personalize the user's experience. The website uses the said data to regulate the advertisement of the products according to our interests. A device cookie known as the browser, i.e., the internet or web and also known as HTTP cookies, stores data related to the login credentials, or shopping list or web experiences, and cookies make the working and regulation of such data smoother by providing the exact data of the user's choice. But with the rising AI advancements also increases the threat of potential cookie problems. When we store our data or login credentials to a site then the data is stored in the browser which may also include the payment information, address of the users, passwords and etc. can be used cyber attackers and fraudsters and can infringe our right to privacy by unlawfully authorising such data. This paper talks about the types of cookies and security concerns faced in today's scenario. Additionally, it lays down the various legal aspect which is needed in improvement of cybersecurity.
