Why Do Cookies Contain the HWEdgeSecSESID or HWEdgeSecSESTIME field?

HWEdgeSecSESID indicates the session ID, and HWEdgeSecSESTIME indicates the session timestamp. These two fields are used to mark the request, for example, they can be used to count the requests for a CC protection rule.

After a domain name or IP address is connected to EdgeSec, EdgeSec inserts fields such as HWEdgeSecSESID (session ID) and HWEdgeSecSESTIME (session timestamp) into the cookie of your customer request. These fields are used by EdgeSec to implement some functions, such as counting requests and monitoring request duration.
