1689271 - Remove or update probes expiring in Firefox 88: COOKIE_PURGING_*

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task)

Description

[telemetry-probes]

The following Firefox probes will expire in the next major Firefox nightly release: version 88 [1].

COOKIE_PURGING_ORIGINS_PURGED
COOKIE_PURGING_TRACKERS_WITH_USER_INTERACTION
COOKIE_PURGING_TRACKERS_USER_INTERACTION_REMAINING_DAYS
COOKIE_PURGING_DURATION_MS
COOKIE_PURGING_INTERVAL_HOURS

What to do about this:

1. If one, some, or all of the metrics are no longer needed, please remove them from their definitions files (Histograms.json, Scalars.yaml, Events.yaml).
2. If one, some, or all of the metrics are still required, please submit a Data Collection Review [2] and patch to extend their expiry. There is a shorter form for data collection renewal [3].

If you have any problems, please ask for help on the #data-help Slack channel or the #telemetry Matrix room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#telemetry:mozilla.org. We'll give you a hand.
