Is it good to delete cookies? Deleting cookies has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, you improve your privacy by clearing tracking cookies, which reduces the ability of companies to track your online behavior. Also, cleaning up cookies can improve your browser speed and reduce certain security risks, especially with outdated cookies. On the other hand, you lose the convenience that cookies provide. You have to log in and set preferences more often. Without personalization cookies, you may see less relevant content and advertisements. In addition, many websites require you to re-set cookie preferences after deletion.
A smart approach is to be selective: delete cookies from websites you don't trust or rarely visit, but keep them for your favorite sites. You can also use privacy modes that automatically delete cookies after closing your browser. Adjusting your browser settings or using cookie managers gives you more control. Ultimately, deleting cookies is a personal choice that depends on what is more important to you: privacy, ease of use or a personalized experience.
Refusing cookies affects your online experience in several ways. Some websites will not function fully: login information is not remembered, shopping carts become empty, and language preferences disappear when you refresh the page. Your privacy increases because tracking cookies can no longer track your browsing habits. As a result, you see less personalized ads, but instead more general advertising that may be less relevant. Website operators without analytics cookies get less insight into how visitors use their site, which can lead to a less optimized user experience. Refusing cookies improves your privacy, but often comes at the expense of ease of use and personalization.
You are constantly being asked to accept cookies by applicable privacy laws such as the AVG. This legislation requires every website to explicitly ask your permission to set certain cookies each time. The permission you give is linked to your browser and device. Cookies are often automatically deleted when you clear your browser history, surf in incognito mode, or use a different browser or device. Also, the retention period of your cookie preferences may have expired. Some websites also deliberately ask for permission more often than is strictly necessary, hoping that visitors will eventually accept all cookies out of irritation. This explains why you regularly encounter the same cookie banners over and over again on websites.
A major reason why it seems like you constantly have to accept cookies is simply because you regularly visit new Web sites. Every website you visit for the first time is required by law to show you a cookie banner before they are allowed to set cookies. In our daily online lives, we often visit dozens of different websites, so we encounter a cookie banner each time.
For those who find this process annoying, there are browser extensions that automatically accept cookies. These extensions detect cookie banners and automatically click the accept button, eliminating the need to manually click them away. While this increases browsing convenience, it is worth remembering that by doing so, you are agreeing to all types of cookies on all websites, including tracking cookies that track your online behavior.
