__Host-ERIC_PROD- Cookie

What does the __Host-ERIC_PROD- cookie do?

The __Host-ERIC_PROD- cookie carries a CSRF security token that protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. It identifies the server mode as PROD (production environment) and includes a unique random number associated with each Lightning app. This ensures that multiple apps do not share the same token.

Why this cookie matters

This cookie is commonly used by salesforce for preferences purposes – such as tracking usage behaviour, optimising experience, or enabling marketing functionality.

Because it's categorised as preferences, many jurisdictions require that users give explicit consent before it can be activated. If blocked or denied by the visitor, preference-related features (like remembering language or layout choices) may not function properly.
