Technical Web Content
Websites should be as appealing and user-friendly as possible. This leads to the frequent use of so-called dynamic or active content, which relies on certain Internet technologies:
are text files that are automatically stored by Internet pages on your computer or smartphone in order to recognize you when you visit them again and, if necessary, to form user profiles.They are used, for example, for identification in an online store or to create user profiles. A web server operator uses cookies, for example, to control which advertising or ad pages you see. Cookies can neither read nor delete other files on the hard disk. You can allow or prohibit the acceptance of cookies and thus the writing to the local hard disk in your browser options.
add additional functions to Internet browsers, such as ad blockers or downloaders. In doing so, some extensions interfere with page views and can detect your browsing behavior.
can execute actions and foreign programs directly on your computer. Java applets are programs that run shielded from the operating system in a compartmentalized area called the Java Virtual Machine. However, access to local programs and resources can be enabled. JavaScript is a programming language that can be embedded in a web page and - without communicating with a web server - interact with the user or create ad hoc content. Most Web 2.0 pages on the Internet work only with JavaScript enabled. However, you can control its use via certain browser extensions.
