Disable Application Insights Cookies

We have an EPiServer website, which has Application Insights activated. This creates two cookies ai_user and ai_session. We would like to disable these cookies.

Based on information I found we can set the following:

isCookieUseDisabled - Default false. If true, the SDK will not store or read any data from cookies. isStorageUseDisabled - If true, the SDK will not store or read any data from local and session storage. Default is false. enableSessionStorageBuffer - Default true. If true, the buffer with all unsent telemetry is stored in session storage. The buffer is restored on page load

I was told this needs to go in: ApplicationInsights.config

But the syntax appears to be quite different from that file.

Do these settings need to go in the JS file instead? (https://az416426.vo.msecnd.net/scripts/a/ai.0.js)

If yes, where in Azure Monitor do I find the link to this file?

ApplicationInsights.config is for server side telemetry (Asp.Net) only, and not for client side monitoring using javascript.

Your settings to disable cookie (isCookieUseDisabled) should be part of Javascript snippet which enables application insights javascript monitoring. This is the official doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/javascript#configuration
