Setting a region cookie

[Andrei]

So by copying the cloudflare/google analytics cookies for example to a
custom header before stripping them for a possible cache hit, we can later
add it back to the client response cookies? Is it even worth bothering for?
I strip all cloudflare/google analytics cookies and haven't had any
complaints yet. Just wondering what the use case might be.
