Basically a repeat from this unanswered thread [Random Cookies in Mautic](https://forum.mautic.org/t/random-cookies-in-mautic/10757)

Mautic is setting various cookies like mtc\_id, but also two that have unpredictable names:  
a) cookie name =   
b) cookie name = some long hash that is persistent for the Mautic instance

-\> Those cannot be handled by consent tools such as CookieBot.

Questions:

- Can the behaviour be changed?
- Are those cookies necessary / what will break if they are blocked?
- What is the general background to begin with?  
Can’t find any hints in the forums etc., nor in the source code.

Thank you very much in advance!
