Surf safely: The best tips for cookies and data protection!
Today, on July 18, 2025, the LAG Landkreis Landshut e.V. held its general meeting. An event that not only attracts members but also interested citizens to the region.
The meeting discussed important issues affecting the community and its development. The focus was on strengthening regional cooperation and sharing best practices among members. This is of great importance in order to promote innovative projects and initiatives that ultimately benefit the entire region.
Technical aspects of the general meeting
A central topic of the meeting was digital infrastructure. The challenges posed by the use of cookies on websites were addressed. Necessary cookies are essential for the functionality of the websites and cannot be deactivated. As landkreis-landshut.de reports, such cookies are often set by user actions, such as when logging in or filling out forms.
The participants also learned that these cookies do not store any personal data, which is particularly important for data protection. Examples include the ASP.NET_SessionId session cookie and the __RequestVerificationToken, both of which are critical to maintaining anonymized user sessions. These cookies are active until the end of the browser session, while the ld-cookieselection cookie stores the user's cookie selection for 30 days.
Practical tips for securing session data
The discussion about cookies also discussed best practices in web development. According to techcommunity.microsoft.com, the session ID in ASP.NET should be at least 128 bits long to avoid brute force attacks. Furthermore, the ID should be generated cryptographically secure and should not contain any sensitive data. This is particularly important for the security of websites that handle users' personal data.
In addition, it was recommended that session-based applications always run over HTTPS. Parameters such as the 'Secure' and 'HttpOnly' attributes should definitely be taken into account when creating cookies to ensure the security of user data. These precautions help prevent concurrent meetings and keep the collection of critical information to a minimum.
With this event, the LAG Landkreis Landshut e.V. shows that it is not only committed to the community, but also wants to stay up to date on the topic of digital security. This is a step in the right direction for a sustainable, connected region.
