Thuty07 is wrong. Cookies dont have viruses/malware. Maybe a virus/malware can be disguised as one but that is outside the scope of the question. Cookies are considered dangerous due to their being used to identify and track users. A.

E. Cookies can contain and execute viruses and malware. While web browser cookies themselves are not inherently dangerous, they can pose some security and privacy risks if they are misused or compromised. Option E highlights a potential danger associated with cookies. Cookies can carry various types of data, including user preferences and session information. However, they cannot contain or execute viruses or malware on their own. Other options (A, B, C, D) also touch on various aspects of cookies, such as tracking, privacy concerns, and data storage, but they do not accurately describe cookies as being dangerous due to viruses and malware.
