Cookies, these small bits of data, have gone from being a convenience to a controversy in recent years, mostly because of privacy concerns.
If you’re wondering why we don’t just stop using them, the answer is simple: they play a crucial role in the functionality of the web.
So let’s discuss some of their pros and how to overcome their cons.
Cookies Pros

Cookies enable websites to remember user preferences, such as language selection, theme choices (dark mode/light mode), or font size, for a more tailored browsing experience.
- Session Management:
They store session information (such as remembering items added to a shopping cart), allowing users to stay logged in even when navigating across multiple pages or returning to the site after a break.

With cookies, websites can load faster by storing cached preferences or previously loaded resources.
- Analytics & Campaign Optimization:
They help target your audience with the right offers and information throughout their buyer journey.
