value of the cookie.

expires

Expiry, if an integer assumes it's the number of seconds from now. Otherwise accepts an object of class POSIXct or Date. If a character string then it is set as-is and not pre-processed. If unspecified, the cookie becomes a session cookie. A session finishes when the client shuts down, after which the session cookie is removed.

max_age

Indicates the number of seconds until the cookie expires. A zero or negative number will expire the cookie immediately. If both expires and max_age are set, the latter has precedence.

domain

Defines the host to which the cookie will be sent. If omitted, this attribute defaults to the host of the current document URL, not including subdomains.

path

Indicates the path that must exist in the requested URL for the browser to send the Cookie header.

secure

Indicates that the cookie is sent to the server only when a request is made with the https: scheme (except on localhost), and therefore, is more resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks.

http_only

Forbids JavaScript from accessing the cookie, for example, through the document.cookie property.

same_site

Controls whether or not a cookie is sent with cross-origin requests, providing some protection against cross-site request forgery attacks (CSRF). Accepts Strict, Lax, or None.
