The Problem
Multiple sites on sub-domains would like to share consent, e.g.
sub1.example.com
,sub2.example.com
,sub3.example.com
. This can be achieved by using the POI feature and specifying a common domain such asconsent.example.com
however there is overhead of at least 20K per page load to use POI.Proposal
Since subdomains can set a shared cookie on the parent domain, it's more efficient to allow the SOI cookie to be set on the parent domain, and then be shared by all subdomains. This would be a form of group consent.
This pull request adds an option to set the domain to be used for the SOI cookie. Setting the cookie to an invalid non-parent domain results in no cookie being set.
