Hi @Umair Aslam,

Thank you for your posting in this community.

For your questions:

1.By default, all SharePoint cookies are session cookies. Reference:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/authentication#sharepoint-authentication

As far as I know, it's not allowed to be customized.

2.Regarding the implementation of a cookie consent banner, SharePoint does not provide a built-in feature for a cookie consent banner.
