Abstract

Internet cookie technology is designed for solving unreliable problem of HTTP's inherent property and notifying user's previous activity to web site's server, so it is useful to provide suitable service for individual user. However, the cookie techniques are becoming more sophisticated such as the third cookie and super cookie. And its included information is applied for advertisement and target marketing strategy, so the problem occurs that user's personal information is collected excessively. However, our law does not recognize the internet cookie as personal information so user cannot know where own internet cookie is stored and applicable. Therefore, in this paper, we explain the internet cookie technology, the privacy invasion and right to be forgotten for solving problem due to the internet cookie. And we analysis the relationship between the information of internet cookie and personal information, and then present the improvement requirement on the law and technology to use internet cookie securely and conveniently.

인터넷 쿠키은 HTTP에 내재된 비연결성 문제를 해결하고 인터넷 서버에서 사용자의 상태를 파악할 수 있게 하여, 사용자에게 적합한 서비스를 제공할 수 있게 해주는 유용한 기술이다. 하지만 제 3자 쿠키와 슈퍼 쿠키와 같이 인터넷 쿠키 기술이 보다 정교해지고 쿠키에 포함시킬 수 있는 정보를 이용하여 광고나 타깃 마케팅에 응용하게 되면서, 사용자 개인의 다양한 정보가 과도하게 수집되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 하지만 쿠키 정보는 우리 법률상에서 개인정보로 취급받고 있지 못하여, 사용자는 자신의 쿠키 데이터에 어떠한 정보가 저장되고 있는지 혹은 어디에 응용되는지 명확히 확인할 수 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 인터넷 쿠키로 인해서 발생하고 있는 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 먼저 인터넷 쿠키에 대해서 알아보고 이로 인해서 발생하는 프라이버시 및 잊혀질 권리에 대한 침해에 대해서 살펴본다. 그리고 인터넷 쿠키 정보와 법률상의 개인정보와의 관계에 대해서 분석하고, 이를 통하여 인터넷을 편리하게 이용하기 위해, 인터넷 쿠키를 안전하게 사용하기 위한 필요한 기술상 및 법률상의 개선사항에 대해서 알아본다.
