The Backward Compatibility Plugin is enabled by default in the Joomla! 5 CMS.
Purpose: to enable Third Party Extensions which are not yet compatible with the Joomla! 5 CMS to continue to function after you update your website from an earlier Joomla! version.
If you disable the plugin then the EB Sticky Cookie Notice extension will not work with your website.
When the Backward Compatibility Plugin is enabled then your website's performance will be adversely affected.
