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

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

Thanks in advance.

No side affect adding cookie which you want to white list.
The default value below

Also provides JSON access to this configuration. Provides convenience method to determine whether a request is opted out or not.

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
