Deletes toolkit/components/cookiebanners and everything that reached into it:
the static and runtime prefs, the JSWindowActor registration, the
nsILoadInfo.hasInjectedCookieForCookieBannerHandling plumbing and its IPC
serialization, the Glean and Legacy Telemetry registrations, the Nimbus
feature, and the shipped cookie-banner-rules-list Remote Settings dump.
Notes for reviewers:
- Removing the cookiebanners pref group from modules/libpref/moz.build and the
StaticPrefList.yaml block must happen together; a mismatch fails at build
time rather than lint time.
- Deleting the local dump does not decommission the main/cookie-banner-rules-list
Remote Settings collection. ESR and older clients still sync it live, so the
server-side collection needs to outlive them and be retired separately.
- docs/overview/gecko.md used nsCookieBannerService purely as its worked
example of XPCOM component instantiation; the diagram is kept with a service
that still exists.
- Recorded perf pages will now show cookie banners, since hooks_recording.py no
longer sets the dismissal prefs. Worth a follow-up if that shifts baselines.
