Opera Touch: Configure Cookie Preferences

Opera Touch: Configure Cookie Preferences

Posted on August 28, 2020 by Mel Hawthorne Leave a Comment

Almost all websites on the internet use cookies for one reason or another. Cookies are small files, that are saved to your browser and then included in requests to the webserver. At their most important, these cookies are used for authentication purposes and keep track of which account you’re logged into.

In many other situations, cookies are less important but can still be useful, either to you or the website. For instance, a cookie can be used to track your language preferences and used to ensure that you get served webpages and content that you can read.

Another example of the use of a cookie would be for user tracking purposes. If a website assigns you a random identifier, it can use that to track your activity across the site. This even allows your monitored activity to be anonymous, assuming the identifier is never associated with your username.

Advertisers also use cookies, loaded via their third-party scripts. The inclusion of third-party advertiser scripts and cookies allows the advertising companies to track your activity across any website that includes their trackers. This data is then used to generate interest profiles used to target advertisements to you.

In most browsers, you can manage your cookie preferences, preventing some or all from being allowed on your device. To manage your cookie preferences in the Opera Touch browser, you need to open the in-app settings. To be able to do so, you first need to tap the Opera icon, found in the bottom-right corner of the app.

To be able to access the in-app settings, tap the Opera icon in the bottom-right corner.

Next, tap “Settings” at the bottom of the popup list to open the in-app settings.

To open the settings tap “Settings” at the bottom of the popup list.

To manage your cookie preferences, tap “Cookies” in the “Browser” section of the settings.

Tap “Cookies” in the “Browser” section of the settings to configure your cookie preferences.

You can choose between three cookie options “Enabled”, “Disabled”, and “Enabled, excluding third-party”. “Enabled” allows all cookies to be saved on your device. “Disabled” prevents any cookies from being saved on your device. “Enabled, excluding third-party” allows websites to set cookies but not any third-party tracking scripts.

Tip: Disabling all cookies may break certain websites, for instance, you may not be able to sign in at all. Disabling only third-party cookies may break third-party functionality, such as a Facebook comment system.

Choose your cookie preferences, between “Enabled”, “Disabled”, and “Enabled, excluding third-party”.
