!! List of cookies and consent requirements

Here is the list of cookies along with whether they require user consent and their duration:

"__Duration: default__" means that it is a session cookie, and it will expire once the session ends.

# 1  __comments.php__
  The cookie is set twice without consent. 
   __Duration:__ default
   __Name:__ comzone
   __Use:__ The cookie value determines whether the comments section should be shown or hidden.

# 2 __tiki-discount.php__
  The cookies are set once without consent. 
    __Duration:__ default
    __Name:__ tabs
    __Use:__ The tabs cookie is used to store the current tab that the user is viewing in the discount management interface.

# 3 __tiki-login.php__
  The cookie is set once without consent. 
    __Duration:__ defined in $prefs'remembertime'
    __Name:__ the cookie name is dynamically generated based on the site's configuration to avoid naming conflicts when multiple Tiki installations are on the same domain.
    __Use:__ this cookie allows users to remain logged in even after closing the browser, as long as the cookie is valid and hasn't expired.

# 4   __tiki-setup_base.php__
  The cookie is set once without consent.
    __Duration:__ 1 year
    __Name:__ Dynamic name in $extra_cookie_name
    __Use:__ Used to confirm that the current user is indeed the owner of the session.

# 5  __tiki-setup.php__
  The cookies are set once, require consent, and get deleted as per the user's preference.

# 6 __lib/tiki-js.js__
  The script creates a custom `setCookie` function with the following features:
    - Checks if the cookie already exists to avoid duplication.
    - Handles expiration by defaulting to one year or session cookies.
    - Integrates consent management by using an alternative storage mechanism (`tiki-cookie-jar.php`) when cookies are not allowed. If the alternative fails, it falls back to setting cookies in the browser directly.
 In this file, the cookies are set once without consent.
  __Duration: default__

# 7 __lib/tikiaccesslib.php__
  The cookies are set once. 
  __Duration: default__ (likely does not require explicit consent as it is used for essential security purposes, e.g., CSRF protection).

# 8 __lib/tikilib.php__
   The cookies are set once without consent.
    __Duration: 300 days__

# 9 __lib/userslib.php__
  This code deletes an existing cookie.

# 10 - __lib/banners/bannerlib.php__
  The cookies are set once without consent.

   __Duration: default__

# 16 __lib/setup/cookies.php__
  The script sets cookies via `setcookie()` or stores them in `$_SESSION'tiki_cookie_jar'`. 
 When cookies are disabled without requesting explicit consent, the cookie duration is defined by the `$expire` parameter, defaulting to a session cookie if not specified.
