Cookies are small files that websites store on a user's computer to remember certain information about that user. Cookies can have different attributes that determine how they behave.

One important attribute of a cookie is "HTTP-Only." This attribute is used to prevent malicious scripts from accessing cookies through the user's browser. When a cookie has the HTTP-Only attribute, it means that the cookie can only be accessed through HTTP requests, not through scripts.

Another important attribute of a cookie is "HTTP-Secure." This attribute is used to ensure that cookies are only sent over secure connections, such as HTTPS. When a cookie has the HTTP-Secure attribute, it means that the cookie can only be sent over an encrypted connection, which helps to prevent sensitive information from being intercepted by hackers.
