Cookies used by CMSMS

Hi
I was trying to find this information in documentation but could not find it.
Can anyone let me know what are the cookies that CMSMS use?
Also, is there any way to find out what cookies are installed by each 3rd party module? I have about 10 modules installed and so probably some of the cookies are installed by such modules.
Thanks
Mig

In the frontend, CMSMS sets a session ID cookie. If you look in your inspector you'll see it starting with CMSSESSID followed by a set of numbers. Most modules will use this for any session tracking, but there's no list of what third-party modules set themselves. Most wouldn't need them, but if in doubt the best option would just be to set up a test environment and have a look at the inspector to see what is set.

Thank you. I followed your guidance and confirmed what you wrote.
Do you recommend any cookie consent tool?
I will now need to find a good cookie consent tool, preferably free and that can allow acceptance or not acceptance of stats and advertising cookies. I tried an existing module for cmsms but it´s letting google analytics cookies load before acceptance
