| pulse_session | 1 | General Laravel session cookie, contains an encrypted session ID corresponding to the current browser session stored on the server. Therefore, there is no sensitive data in this cookie. This session may contain temporary data related to forms or the ID of the user logged into the platform. |
| XSRF-TOKEN | 1 | 'Cross-Site Request Forgeries' are a type of malicious exploitation where unauthorized commands are executed on behalf of an authenticated user. Fortunately, Laravel makes it easy to protect your application against CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgeries) attacks. Laravel automatically generates a CSRF 'token' for each active user session managed by the application. This token is used to verify that the authenticated user is indeed the one making requests to the application. Since this token is stored in the user's session and changes every time the session is regenerated, a malicious application cannot access it. |
