I'm not sure the question your asking.. You want to mask the data but the data is not present in the logs?

Your sed method is only masking data at search time. If another user runs a search then the cookie data will be available. If you want to mask the data at index time (i.e. the data will be masked if anyone searches for it), you should do the following

props.conf

 [sourcetype]
 TRANSFORMS-1card = cookie_anon

transforms.conf

[cookie_anon]
 REGEX = [^{]+{(\w+)=([^};]*)
 DEST_KEY = _raw
 FORMAT = 1XXXXXX

Make sure to restart splunkd after making these changes
