Release 2.38 – Cookies and Split Two columns in WYSIWYG | Data Attributes on carousel and post types | Infra deployments and tests

2 weeks full of improvements! Our journeys towards a full “What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get” Planet 4 continues, with 2 more blocks now rendered in the new style. Data Attributes continue to be assigned to various fields, and technical debt (with CSS and JS fixes) kept getting slimmer. Infra improvements have also been made, some of which are related to the August Outage
