"Is it OK to set this cookie? Do I need to ask for consent?"
The answer is...
....wait for it....
..."IT DEPENDS!!"
Of course it does. But on what? Well, that's what this guide is here to help you with.
To arrive at a conclusion, you will also need:
a description of what the cookie is for,
a list of the (technical) functions that depend on it; and-
an understanding of what happens to the data generated as a result of setting/reading/updating it
(...which you should have available anyway as part of the essential documentation for your site/app that you stipulated in contract terms with the developer.....yes? 😂)
Happy cookie-crunching!
