# Managing cookies

To categorize, publish and unpublish, change name and/or description of the cookies, go to Cookie section on the navigation.

Upon opening, you should see a table with the following columns:

* **No**: The row number.&#x20;
* **Title**: The name of the cookie, usually the id of that cookie.&#x20;
* **Description**: The detail of that cookie. This information is usually blank. The description of that cookie will also be visible on the cookie banner.&#x20;
* **Category**: The category of that banner. By default, there will be 4 categories: Necessary, Preferences, Marketing, Analytics. If you have published the cookie but haven't put it in any category, it will still not be displayed on your cookie banner.&#x20;
* **Status**: If the cookie has been published or not. Once published, it will be visible for people to see it on your cookie banner so that they are aware of its existence and usage.&#x20;
* **Scanned**: If the cookie was created by you or scanned from your customers' browsers.&#x20;
* **Action**: Once hover over the row (cookie), you can opt to edit the cookie's information or delete it.&#x20;

You can quickly filter out the cookies using the conditions on top of the table:

Alternatively, you can filter out cookies base on their categories. Use this filter:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.consentik.com/manage-cookies-and-categories/managing-cookies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
