Cookies are data that are automatically saved when you visit a website. They record information such as usernames, passwords, and browsing history, providing convenient features for your next visit.

Cookies are an important tool for making the use of websites more convenient. However, they also involve our privacy. Since personal information such as usernames, passwords, and browsing history is recorded, it is important to understand how these pieces of information are handled and managed properly. Additionally, as a website operator, it is required to respect the privacy of visitors and learn the appropriate use of cookies. Through this article, I hope that you will understand the appropriate use and management of cookies, and this will aid in using the internet safely. 🌟

Cookies are the key to understanding how websites adapt when we use the internet, and how they provide services tailored to individual users. They not only analyze our usage and deliver personalized advertisements, but also store login information to improve convenience, and provide content based on our interests. However, understanding how they work and how our information is used is crucial to protecting our privacy and using the internet more safely.
Issues with Cookies
![Issues with Cookies](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/229B2B68-DC7E-4D9B-B101-C3030FEFA75C-1024x538.jpg)
There are privacy concerns associated with cookies. In particular, when accessing websites that store personal information, there is a risk that information contained in cookies could be stolen by third parties. Furthermore, users’ web activities can be tracked through third-party cookies, potentially infringing on privacy. For this reason, laws regarding cookies have been enacted in countries like the EU, requiring websites to obtain consent for the use of cookies.
![Athena](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/BA198884-0850-4B90-BEDD-8BA960C6F9E1.png)
Hello everyone, this is Athena speaking. 😊 As you may know, a cookie is a mechanism by which a website records user information. However, this entails a risk of infringing on our precious privacy. Specifically, when a website saves our personal information in cookies, there is a possibility that this information could be stolen by malicious means. In addition, something called third-party cookies can track our online behaviors, potentially infringing on our privacy. 🔍
![Athena](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/BA198884-0850-4B90-BEDD-8BA960C6F9E1.png)
But do not worry. To address this issue, laws regarding the use of cookies have been enacted in regions like the EU. This means that clear consent is required from us users when websites want to use cookies. ✅
![Athena](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/BA198884-0850-4B90-BEDD-8BA960C6F9E1.png)
Moreover, in 2023, new data privacy laws are scheduled to be implemented in several states in the United States. These new laws are modeled after the EU’s GDPR, clearly defining how to manage data collection and usage, as well as who bears the responsibility and obligation associated with it. 📜

However, these laws are general, and do not apply to data already protected by specific laws. Furthermore, due to variations in the scope of application, requirements, responsibilities and penalties, and methods of enforcing the law by each state, it is important to verify the details. 🔍
![Athena](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/BA198884-0850-4B90-BEDD-8BA960C6F9E1.png)
In other words, there are different regulations concerning the use of cookies and the protection of privacy, depending on the country or region. ✨

Moreover, some websites respect the “Do Not Track” setting. This is a function that recognizes when a user does not wish to be tracked, and the website subsequently stops tracking. However, please note that not all websites respect this setting. 🔍
Good Examples of Cookie Use

Major e-commerce sites like Amazon and Rakuten Market are examples of websites that properly utilize cookies. These sites use cookies to offer product recommendations tailored to the user. However, while providing such personalized experiences, it’s important to maintain a balance with user privacy. Users need to understand to what extent their information is shared and how it is used, and they should be able to control it appropriately. There are also examples of content-based websites, such as news sites and blogs, that use cookies to provide useful information to the user.

Allow me to speak a word, this is Athena. 😊 Large online shopping sites, like Amazon and Rakuten Market, use these small pieces of data called “cookies” to provide us with personalized product recommendations. ✨ This is known as “personalization”, which enhances our experiences while not forgetting to protect our valuable privacy. 🌸

In the new data privacy laws, it’s emphasized that we should understand how our information is used and be able to control it properly. ✨ This is our individual right. In addition, news sites and blogs also use cookies to enhance our experience by providing information based on our browsing history. 😁
![Athena](https://kazu-shumiblog0529.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/BA198884-0850-4B90-BEDD-8BA960C6F9E1.png)

“The Wizard of Websites, Athena”
Once upon a time, there was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, who had the power to make people happy. Athena, who retained her beauty and youth, had a mission to make people smile. One day, she descended from the mysterious island of “Eris” to the human world and observed people’s lives through the internet. She found a way to improve the experience of websites using cookies.
Athena decided to use her power to transform cookies into something special. She created magical cookies that brought joy to the people who visited websites. These magical cookies, when people visited a website, could evoke happy memories and emotions in their hearts, giving them the power to smile. And then, Athena decided to spread these magical cookies to websites all around the world.
Utilizing her power and wisdom, she aimed to optimize websites through communication with nature and animals. Moreover, her beloved pet, a small white dragon named Luna, lent her power. Luna amplified Athena’s power and helped spread happiness.
Gradually, these magical cookies spread, and more and more people around the world felt happy through the internet. Website operators were able to provide visitors with a better experience by utilizing Athena’s magical cookies.
People were grateful that the use of the internet had become more enjoyable and comfortable thanks to the magical cookies. And the beautiful goddess Athena, seeing people’s smiles increasing, felt satisfied that she had accomplished her mission. Since then, Athena has continued to create cookies that bring happiness to the human world.
