              Ð ÐDelete cookies on a regular basis. A cookie is a little piece of data that a website stores about a visitor. When a client
                 sends a request, the server saves the client’s information, such as the domain name and registration id, in the form
                 of a file or a string on the server site. This cookie is sent by the server along with the client’s response. The browser
                 saves the cookie it receives from the server in a directory called cookie directory on the client side. Hackers may be
                 able to get unauthorised access to these websites by gaining access to these cookies. As a result, cookies, as well as
                 the temporary files stored on our system while online browsing, should be erased on a regular basis.
              Cyber Law

              Cyber  laws  govern  the  systematic  use  of  e-resources,  such  as  e-commerce,  and  serve  as  a  deterrent  to  criminal
              cybercrime. Various cyber laws have also been enacted in order to combat cybercrime and prosecute those who
              commit it.
              These laws specify the actions that will be taken against those who break the law. An amendment to the Information
              Technology Act of 2000, dubbed the Information Technology Amendment Act of 2008, was also submitted to address
              cyber security. The statute also establishes cyber-crime offences and sanctions. According to the IT Act, cyber police
              are in charge of discovering such offences and taking appropriate action.
