Some cookies are marked as HttpOnly. See Chrome developer tools > resources > cookies > http column, does a checkmark here indicate HttpOnly cookie?
If I use this code inside the debug console to get all cookies:
document.write(document.cookie)
Then it gives me everything except the HttpOnly cookies, which because my code is running inside the javascript environment and the design of HttpOnly is to hide it from the javascript environment.
Is there another option to use the Chrome console to get all the cookies?
I am hoping to get this in the same format as the above line of code produces.

I thought that httpOnly cookies were only available to read in a http request. However, when I open up Firefox dev tools, I can see the cookies' value. Is this normal?
Yes, that's normal. What HttpOnly does is it prevents cookies from being accessible to JavaScript, which makes impossible to tamper with programatically (on the client). You can still access it manually through the browser's devtools. (If you weren't, it'd be quite difficult to debug issues with them, after all.)

I am attempting to follow the new guidelines for Cross Site Cookies and passing the SameSite=None; Secure attributes with cookies as I attempt to set them in browser Javascript code.
We are sending our SSO/Authorization javascript bundle from a separate host and domain that is supposed to set a cookie in the browser for storing the sessionToken. This cookie is then expected to be used on a browser refresh to maintain the users session.
Since updating to Chrome 80 the cookie is no longer saved in the browser due to the following error:
A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at <sso_domain> was set without the
`SameSite` attribute. It has been blocked, as Chrome now only delivers cookies with
cross-site requests if they are set with `SameSite=None` and `Secure`. You can review
cookies in developer tools under Application>Storage>Cookies and see more details at
https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5088147346030592 and https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5633521622188032.
We are using js-cookie to set the cookie which uses the browsers document.cookie to actually create it: https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/blob/master/src/api.mjs#L38
Initially we were not passing the SameSite attribute through the attributes param (we were passing Secure), but even after updating our call to js-cookie and seeing the appropriate stringifiedAttributes in Chrome Inspector (both Secure and SameSite=None):
SameSite cookie attribute in Chrome Inspector
I am still seeing the error in the chrome console:
error in console
Operating System: OSX
Chrome version: Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit)
When I inspect a page via chrome dev tools there is a very large list of cookies, as opposed to when using document.cookie there are only a few.
Can anyone explain the difference between these cookies and the ones via my console.log, and why I can not access them via javascript?
Is it even possible to get these cookies I see in the dev tool using javascript?
Do I need to set them manually first?
Thanks!
I am able to see session cookies in Firefox 3.6 by going to
Tools->Options->Privacy->Remove Individual Cookies
How do I see those same session cookies in IE (6/7/8)?
Tools->Internet Options->Browsing
history Settings->View files
only contains persistent cookies
Also how do I access them programmatically? In Firefox I use the nsICookieManager interface to read the session cookies, does IE contain an equivalent interface?
Cookies set with the HTTPOnly attribute will not be visible to Javascript (e.g. via the document.cookie accessor). In IE8, 9, and 10, hit F12 to open the Developer Tools. Click Cache > View Cookie Information to see persistent and session cookies that apply to the current domain.
This feature is not present in the IE11 version of the tools, which would mean that your choices are 1> Watch outbound Cookie headers in Fiddler or on the Network tab, or 2> Write a plugin that calls the InternetGetCookieEx API with the appropriate flag to include HTTPOnly cookies.
Type into adress-bar:
javascript:alert(document.cookie)
to see the cookies that are currently readable by javascript.
Regarding to the read/write of session-cookies:
Why do you need to do it using javascript? usually session-cookies are needed to have an relation to serverside stored data, so you need to manage the cookies from serverside, no matter what browser there may be.
F12-> Network Tab -> Enable Network Capture Traffic Capturing - > Details Tab -> Request Header Tab.
