For several years now, browsers and the web pages use cookies to offer a better user experience. This often represents a problem for certain users who do not have the ability to use these files enabled in their browser.
But it can also happen the other way around, that is, several users, for security reasons, want to disable the use of these navigation files. Then We explain how to perform this task in Microsoft Edge, the last great browser from Microsoft and with which many users are not yet familiar.
Microsoft Edge like other modern browsers allow you to control the use and permission of these browsing files. Whether we want them to be saved or we want them to be saved or if we only want certain cookies to be saved and used. To use this function, first we have to go to the icon of the three points of Microsoft Edge and we are going to See Advanced Settings.
Cookies can represent a security hazard if misused
A window will appear with many Microsoft Edge customization options. In this window we use the scroll down until we see the «Cookies» options. Among these options are all the above possibilities, that is,
- Block all cookies.
- Allow all cookies.
- Allow only third-party cookies.
After choosing the option that interests us, click accept and that's it.
This utility can also be useful for when the browser or a certain page requests that our browser use these files. A still common problem among browsers on many computers, including the latest versions of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
Personally I recommend that you use the third-party cookies option and delete all these files from time to time that your browser uses. This option is the safest and least cumbersome that exists, but if you want a higher degree of security, you can always choose to block all files of this type, although you will have error messages on some web pages.
