Worked example
Pasting a session cookie with Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax reports all three flags present.
What this tool does not do / Limits
Only pasted headers are checked. This does not inspect live sites or your browser cookies, and flag presence alone does not prove a cookie is safe.
Frequently asked questions
Why does HttpOnly matter?
It keeps the cookie out of reach of page scripts, which reduces the damage if a cross-site scripting flaw exists.
Is a session cookie without expiry a problem?
Not by itself. Session cookies end when the browser closes, so the tool reports it as information, not a failure.
