Fields

The Cookies table contains the following fields:

  • Name. The name of the cookie.

  • Value. The value of the cookie.

  • Domain. The hosts that are allowed to receive the cookie. See Scope of cookies.

  • Path. The URL that must exist in the requested URL in order to send the Cookie header. See Scope of cookies.

  • Expires / Max-Age. The expiration date or maximum age of the cookie. See Permanent cookies. For session cookies this value is always Session.

  • Size. The size, in bytes, of the cookie.

  • HttpOnly. If true, this field indicates that the cookie should only be used over HTTP, and JavaScript modification isn't allowed. See HttpOnly cookies.

  • Secure. If true, this field indicates that the cookie must be sent to the server only over a secure, HTTPS connection. See Secure cookies.

  • SameSite. Contains strict or lax if the cookie is using the experimental Samesite attribute.

  • SameParty. This attribute provides web developers a means to annotate cookies that are allowed to be set or sent in same-party, cross-site contexts.

  • Partition Key. A partition key is a property or path within a document that can be used to distribute data within a document yet store the data together. Multiple pieces of data that are spread throughout a document and that have the same partition key value are logically grouped together and stored in the same physical partition.

  • Priority. Contains low, medium (default), or high if the cookie is using the deprecated Cookie Priority attribute.

Filter cookies

To filter cookies by Name or Value, use the Filter text box:
