Can anyone point me to a working example/ demo of the cookie opt out service for AEM sites?

It's described on the experienceleague website here - but when i follow the documentation and use the client library javascript in a Sightly/ HTML template, method calls like getCookieNames() return an empty array.

Thanks for the links @Asutosh_Jena_ , your second link is the one in my original post.
I've worked through the documentation but, while the code executes OK, client-side Javascript does not read the OSGi-configured service values, as the documentation suggests it should. I raised a Forum question a few weeks ago when I was working through this initially but didn't solve it. 

 

I would like to see a working example of this cookie opt out feature so that i see how a working implementation differs from mine, so that I can spot what is wrong.

 

The client-side scripts for the opt out feature is in the content db at /libs/clientlibs/granite/utils/source/OptOutUtil.js.  The Javascript includes inline code comments that read as i've pasted below.   I'm not clear how to add the described  "...optionally included component..."(?).  There is no /libs/granite/security/... node in my local AEM instance.  How does that get created, or is this inline code documentation out of date?
