# Suggested Profiles

<Note>
  CLI man page: `safesquid-buitins(5)`
</Note>

**Suggested Profiles** (`safesquid-buitins(5)`) shows built-in profile ideas you can pick when configuring cookie-related policy. It is a **UI-only** naming aid — no C++ section loads this configuration at runtime.

<Note>
  To enforce cookie behaviour, configure [Cookie filter](/admin_guide/filtering_and_privacy/cookie_filter) and reference the same tag names in [Access Profiles](/admin_guide/policies_and_profiles/access_profiles) where `cookie_profiles` is used.
</Note>

## What it does and does not do

* **Does** — Show labels administrators can pick when configuring Cookie filtering or Access Profiles `cookie_profiles` fields.
* **Does not** — Enforce policy, add connection tags, or appear in the request pipeline.

## Subsections

* **Default Policies** — Suggested starting entries under **Suggested cookie profile tags**. Each row defines an example tag name (for example `READ ONLY`) for the Web UI picker.

## Entry fields

* **Enabled** — UI-only row visibility in the suggested list. Does not affect proxy behaviour.
* **Comment** — Label shown in the Cookie Filtering profile-tag picker.
* **Suggested cookie profile tags** — Example tag name for the dropdown. Pair with deny rows under Cookie filter and Access Profiles `cookie_profiles`.

## Examples

<Tip>
  ### READ ONLY cookie hint

  * Suggested Profiles lists `READ ONLY`
  * Cookie filter Deny row uses cookie profile tag `READ ONLY` for outbound cookies you want blocked
  * Access Profiles assigns users the matching `cookie_profiles` tag

  **Result:** the suggestion is only a naming aid; effective block comes from Cookie filter + Access Profiles, not from Suggested Profiles alone.
</Tip>

## How to verify

1. Open Cookie filter — confirm the tag appears in the cookie profile picker after you add it under Suggested Profiles.
2. Configure a Deny row and Access Profiles `cookie_profiles` with the same tag; reproduce a request with matching cookies.
3. Detailed logs should show cookie filter outcome — Suggested Profiles alone produces no log lines.
