Cookie(name, value, path, maxAge, isSecure, SameSite)

Creates a new instance of the Cookie class using the specified name, value, path, and age, and settings for security and cross-domain behavior.

Google Chrome 80 introduces a new default cookie attribute setting of SameSite, which is set to Lax. Previously, the SameSite cookie attribute defaulted to the value of None. When SameSite is set to None, cookies must be tagged with the isSecure attribute indicating that they require an encrypted HTTPS connection.

Note

    The path from where you can retrieve the cookie.

  • maxAge:

    Type: Integer

    A number representing how long a cookie is valid for in seconds. If set to less than zero, a session cookie is issued. If set to zero, the cookie is deleted.
