Please check this community thread for the detailed answer community.stape.io/t/cookie-extender-tag-vs-cookie-saver-plugin/788 To sum up the main difference is that cookie keeper works only for the Safari browser for now, and the cookie extender tag prolongs specified cookies from the server.
@stape If I use Global CDN and Cookie extender Tag on the GTM server container for a 1year cookie lifetime then it will be a cookie 1year extend for Safari browser? can you tell me in detail??
HI, The cookie extener tag will only work with Own CDN or Same Origin custom domain and not with Global CDN. You set the expiration time in the tag settings and this is possible. You can find the article you need here: stape.io/blog/extend-cookie-lifetime-using-server-side-google-tag-manager
Backup cookies are necessary when js script overrides cookies and shortens cookie lifetime. For example, if you want to prolong fbp, the tag will prolong the fbp cookie and create _fbp_backup cookie (if you selected the checkbox inside the tag settings). _fbp_backup will be used to restore the value of fbp and set the necessary lifetime if fbp is not available.
Hey Stape! If the Safari Browser keeps the cookies for 7 days, how the backup cookie is not deleted also? Where are the cookies stored? They are still in the web browser right?
Backup cookies can live more than 7 days with the cookie extender tag if you use either own CDN (stape.io/solutions/own-cdn) or the same origin domain (stape.io/news/a-new-way-to-set-up-a-custom-domain-in-server-gtm#how-to-configure-the-same-origin-custom-domain-in-s-gtm) for your tagging server. In this case, this cookie will be considered as a first-party set from the same IP as your website domain.
yes, to prolong cookie lifetime in Safari you need to use Own CDN because it allows proxying your GTM tagging URL from the same IP as the main website IP help.stape.io/hc/en-us/articles/12348841204125-How-to-use-Own-CDN-on-Stape. While Global CDN enabled serving scripts faster.

But why the cookie has them a different name because no script will look after that renamed cookie?
