Cookies

Do you want to see cookies appearing and disappearing, and expiry times changing, in your browser?

For setting Cookie Consent (this is the yes/no after a visitor clicks your "accept all cookies" banner):

1. Open a page which has Matomo tracking (the normal JS tracker)
2. In Devtools >> Console, do the following _paq.push(['rememberCookieConsentGiven']);
3. (in devtools >> storage/cookies see the expiry date of the mtm_cookie_consent cookie is very far in the future)
4. In the console again _paq.push(['rememberCookieConsentGiven', 47]);
5. (in devtools >> storage/cookies see the expiry date of the mtm_cookie_consent cookie is now two days in the future)

There is an entire parallel process for tracking in general (not just cookies).  Repeat every line above the same but remove the word cookie from methods in push.
