For example: I want to be extra sure about the cookies * ``` CookieLawInfoConsent viewed_cookie_policy ``` * –> If BOTH cookies are set, then output ONE cached version ((These are just imagined rules, not real rules! – for those who came here from Google for copy and pasting stuff)) – so something like: `RewriteRule .* - [E="cache-vary:CookieLawInfoConsent + viewed_cookie_policy"]` or `RewriteRule .* - [E="cache-vary:CookieLawInfoConsent&& viewed_cookie_policy"]` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LiteSpeed Cache] LiteSpeed Crawler: Cookie Notice – Question](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/litespeed-crawler-cookie-notice-question/) * Thread Starter [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/) * (@pbre) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/litespeed-crawler-cookie-notice-question/#post-15919917) * To sum it up: 1) The comma is for multiple cookies – clear, thanks! ✅ 2) Cookies like `CookieLawInfoConsent` are case sensitive so it’s NOT `RewriteRule .* - [ E=Cache-Vary:cookielawinfoconsent]` it is `RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Vary:CookieLawInfoConsent]` * And: `RewriteRule .* - [E=cache-vary:xxx]` can also be written like `RewriteRule.*-[ E=Cache-Vary:xxx]` ✅ 3) The short `RewriteRule .* - [E="cache-vary:xf_style_id, xf_language_id"]` **is equal to / is technically the same like** * ``` RewriteRule .* - [E=cache-vary:xf_style_id] RewriteRule .* - [E=cache-vary:xf_language_id] ``` * Both rulesets create a different cashed page depending on the set cookie and the cookie value. ✅ * So far correct? * **An addon question regarding OLS and cache-vary:** In OpenLiteSpeed, is it enough to edit the .htaccess or do I have to edit the Headers as well? - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/).

Thanks again [@qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/)! 🙂 * Regarding the “comma rule”, I found it inside the docs as well at the second example, but the rule – is inside quotation marks – is written lower case, like the word combination `cache-var` – isn’t documented indepth what it does (like:“ Only if a and b matches, than cache the page.” Or “If a OR b matches, then cache the page”…) [https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/devguide/advanced/#rewrite-rules](https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/devguide/advanced/#rewrite-rules) * Would you mind to ask your team about that? * An addon question regarding OLS and cache-vary: In OpenLiteSpeed, is it enough to edit the .htaccess or do I have to edit the Headers as well? - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 12 months ago by [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LiteSpeed Cache] LiteSpeed Crawler: Cookie Notice – Question](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/litespeed-crawler-cookie-notice-question/) * Thread Starter [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/) * (@pbre) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/litespeed-crawler-cookie-notice-question/#post-15917997) * Thanks again [@qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/) that you enlighten me with your wisdom 🙂 * Let’s say I would create a one-for-all htaccess file with a collection of Cookie/ Cache-Vary and there are cookies inside the htaccess that would never be used. Would this have a negative impact on speed/stability, cache hits and/or would this result into errors? * The logic behind this is to safe time and redundant work to not scan every site moved to LiteSpeed for the corresponding cookie. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LiteSpeed Cache] If I write a RewriteRule – does it have to be inside brackets?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-i-write-a-rewriterule-does-it-have-to-be-inside-brackets/) * Thread Starter [pbre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbre/) * (@pbre) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-i-write-a-rewriterule-does-it-have-to-be-inside-brackets/#post-15917223) * Thanks [@qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/) !

Is the rule for the cookie nane case-sensitive? like ` RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Vary:CookieLawInfoConsent]` or `RewriteRule .* - [E =Cache-Vary:cookielawinfoconsent]` 2. Is there a way to visually “see” and/or check the results of a vary rule like a screenshot of a page? 3. What does the comma do?

So to vary the cookie and cache different sites “states” based on cookies it would be like this inside the .htaccess file, right?: * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=CookieLawInfoConsent] RewriteRule .* - [E=viewed_cookie_policy] ``` * 2.
