Name	Description	Category	Expiry
AWSALB	AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: This cookie is used to introduce stickiness across the session. Used to map the session to the instance. When the load balancer (the server) first receives a request from a client, it routes the request to a target, generating this encrypted cookie that encodes information about the selected target, and includes it in the response to the client. Also, it registers which server cluster is serving the visitor, and this is used in context with load balancing to optimize the user experience.	Strictly necessary	7days
AWSALBCORS	AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: This cookie is managed by AWS and is used for load balancing as well. With cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests, some browsers require SameSite=None; Secure to enable stickiness. In this case, the load balancer generates a second stickiness cookie, AWSALBCORS, which includes the same information as the original stickiness cookie, AWSALB, plus the SameSite attribute. Clients receive both cookies.	Strictly necessary	7days
AWSALBTG	AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: The ASWALBTG cookie is a load balancer-generated cookie for Weighted Target Groups. It is used to honor sticky sessions and enable target group stickiness. When the load balancer first routes a request to a weighted target group, it generates an encrypted cookie named AWSALBTG that encodes information about the selected target group and includes the cookie in the response to the client. When the load balancer receives a request from the same client that matches a rule with target group stickiness enabled and contains the cookie, the request is routed to the target group specified in the cookie.	Strictly necessary	7days
AWSALBTGCORS	AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: This load-balancing cookie is managed by AWS and is for Weighted Target Groups associated with cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests. With CORS requests, some browsers require SameSite=None; Secure to enable stickiness. In this case, the elastic load balancer generates a second stickiness cookie, AWSALBCORS, which includes the same information as the original stickiness cookie, AWSALBTG, plus the SameSite attribute. Clients receive both cookies in response.	Strictly necessary	7days
ASP.NET_SessionId	General purpose platform session cookie, used by sites written with Miscrosoft .NET based technologies. Usually used to maintain an anonymised user session by the server.	Strictly necessary	End of browser session

It stores the preferences saved by the user and helps drop only those cookies that are consented to by the user.	Strictly necessary	90days
__cf_bm	To read and filter requests from bots.	Strictly necessary	A few seconds
_cfuvid	The _cfuvid cookie is set on a user’s browser to assign them a unique ID in addition to identifying them through their IP address. Without this cookie, visitors to a site will be recognized as the same user if they share the same IP, and any data collected will be shared for all users with that IP.
