How to configure OptOutServiceImpl service

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I want to include 2 customized cookie in the white cookie list. However, when i add them in the com.adobe.granite.optout.impl.OptOutServiceImpl.xml, the other default cookies gets removed. I want to know if

1. Is OptOutServiceImpl service is inactive by default?
2. Are these default cookies mandatory to be included in the config file?
3. Is there any side effect of adding cookie in the white list cookie?

Thanks in advance.

By default all custom cookies are not allowed on cq5 server. You need to add this in white list, we had the same problem. We created a cookie but it is rejected, then we added to white list.

Here is the documentation to configure optout service
