Sorry we have another cookies issue from this release:
LithiumLocalePreferences (For Classic and Aurora communities)
| 3 |
Used to keep track of the user’s preferred language | 24 hours | Increase in number of calls to verify user language preference. Language preference order may be altered or may default to browser selected preference. For Aurora - If this cookie is not present, a query will be executed to retrieve the language. If the user does not have a value in their preferences, we will use the browser's `Accept-Language` header. |
We took this to mean it was only dropped on login, but it seems to be being dropped on page load this changes its categorization for us.
Can you confirm?
Still looking into this!
LucyL ,
I reached out to support, and it looks like it is indeed not dropping on page load - however because it doesn't expire on logout if you have been to the page before and it has not expired it will behave as if it was dropped on page load.
Anyways we are still looking into it and I will let you know if I need anything else from you, tbh I can't help feeling a recent trend towards dropping cookies instead of looking at better, perhape more effective, ways to store - use and retrieve this data.This is looking more and more like an over zealous scanner but I do think the description of these cookies could be 'clearer' not just on their purpose, when they are dropped, what happens if they aren't dropped and can they be turned off?
