Hosted Login Pages Cookies

Overview

Cookies are a critical part of web applications.

When you call certain APIs, such as the Login API, cookies may be set. Such cookies are specified in the API documentation.

When you use the hosted login pages, FusionAuth uses cookies to enable functionality.

Domains

The domain of all cookies is the domain on which the FusionAuth instance is running. You can control the domain FusionAuth uses by setting up a proxy.

In other words, if FusionAuth serves requests at auth.piedpiper.com, it will only set cookies for this value: auth.piedpiper.com. It will never set cookies for .piedpiper.com. The ability to control the domain of the cookie set is an open feature request.

Cookies set by the hosted login pages are displayed here for informational purposes only. The name, type and description of each cookie are subject to change.
