Flexicontent Cookies "Expired" in 1970 was created by psa

Greetings,
While configuring a website's privacy and following the new data protection rules, I found that Flexicontent seems to be injecting two cookies in it, one of them named fc_uid, although both cookies have an expiration date set to 1969-12-31 at 23:59:59, which might become a problem with GDPR.

Best regards,
Paulo

Hello

we will add a report for our cookies in the Joomla privacy screens

About fc_uid it is used to create 1 URL for guests and unique URLs for logged user, while instructing browser to cache pages (caching even POSTed pages thus when you click the back button during multiple searches , you will not get an error "Page has expired")

About in date the past, we need to handle this better using

Code:

Set-Cookie: token=deleted; path=/; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

i mean when the date is in the past it indicate that the cookie is no longer needed and it must be deleted
