Can I Configure Session Cookies in WAF?
No. WAF does not support session cookies.
WAF allows you to configure CC attack protection rules to limit the access frequency to a specific path (URL) in a single cookie field, accurately identify CC attacks, and effectively mitigate CC attacks. For example, if a user whose cookie ID is name accesses the /admin* page under the protected domain name for more than 10 times within 60 seconds, you can configure a CC attack protection rule to forbid the user from accessing the domain name for 600 seconds.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are data (usually encrypted) stored on the local terminal of a user by a website to identify the user and trace sessions. Cookies are sent by a web server to a browser to record personal information of the user.
A cookie consists of a name, a value, and several optional attributes that control the cookie validity period, security, and usage scope. Cookies are classified into session cookies and persistent cookies. The details are as follows:
- Session cookie
A session cookie exists only in temporary memory while the user navigates the website. It does not have an expiration date. When the browser is closed, session cookies are deleted.
- Persistent cookie
A persistent cookie has an expiration date and is stored in disks. Persistent cookies will be deleted after a specific length of time.
