===Secure cookie===
A secure cookie can only be transmitted over an encrypted connection (i.e. [[HTTP Secure|HTTPS]]). This makes the cookie less likely to be exposed to cookie theft via eavesdropping. To accomplish this goal, browsers which support the secure flag will only send cookies with the secure flag when the request is going to a HTTPS page. Said in another way, the browser will not send a cookie with the secure flag set over an unencrypted HTTP request.
 
===HttpOnly cookie===
