Where are the cookies sent in an HTTP request?
Creating cookies After receiving an HTTP request, a server can send one or more Set-Cookie headers with the response. The cookie is usually stored by the browser, and then the cookie is sent with requests made to the same server inside a Cookie HTTP header. An expiration date or duration can be specified, after which the cookie is no longer sent.
To properly identify you on each subsequent request, the backend checks the cookie coming from the browser in the request. To send the cookie, the browser appends a Cookie header in the request: How, when, and why the browser sends back cookies is the topic for the next sections.

The Cookies table contains the following fields: Name. The cookie’s name. Value. The cookie’s value. Domain. The hosts that are allowed to receive the cookie. Path. The URL that must exist in the requested URL in order to send the Cookie header. Expires / Max-Age.
