 > Do you have any memory when that cookie data would actually be used?

 See
 https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/33e618df29df7126edd6d714147589bdf2370ba1/src
 /bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L4594-L4596

 `bp_core_add_message()` is used which sets the cookie data for the
 unsubscribe message and then the redirect takes place to the members
 profile URL. The message is then displayed for logged-in users, but for a
 logged out user, this message doesn't display due to r14103. We need to
 add back some form of messaging here for logged-out users.

 As a tangent, a site that I'm working on is looking into the unsubscribe
 behavior and preferably, the unsubscribe flow needs a better UX. Should a
 user really be redirected to the user's profile URL when unsubscribing?
 The unsubscribe landing page should preferably be a minimal page where you
 can see what is happening. There should also be a confirmation of the
 unsubscribe action. Right now, no confirmation occurs as the unsubscribe
 happens automatically.

 We should look into how other email unsubscribe workflows and adapt to
 best practices.
