B. forwarding email and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a user's device by websites they visit. While cookies are commonly used for various legitimate purposes such as session management and personalization, they can also pose security risks, particularly when they are used to track and forward sensitive information like email and IP addresses without the user's consent. Forwarding email and IP addresses through cookies can compromise user privacy and expose sensitive information to potential interception or exploitation by malicious actors. This can lead to various security threats, including identity theft, targeted attacks, and unauthorized access to personal or confidential information.
