Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online cookie parser.
A Cookie header is sent by the browser to the server, while Set-Cookie is sent by the server
to store a cookie.
It tells the browser to send that cookie only over HTTPS connections, which helps protect it
from interception.
The cookie is hidden from scripts running on the page, which reduces the damage from cross
site scripting attacks.
It controls whether the cookie is sent on cross site requests, with Strict, Lax and None as
the possible values.
An Expires date or a Max-Age value sets its lifetime, and without either the cookie lasts
only for the session.
Percent escapes inside the value are decoded where possible, so you can read the stored text
directly.
No. Parsing happens inside the page only, and nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
Yes, the cookie parser is free and unlimited with no account needed.
