The writeSecureCookies variable allows AppMeasurement to set Secure cookies for Analytics. This setting applies to both visitor ID cookies set by AppMeasurement, and cookies you set using the Util.CookieWrite() method. It requires AppMeasurement 2.18.0 or higher.

writeSecureCookies applies only to cookies set by AppMeasurement JavaScript (s_fid, s_cc and s_sq). Cookies set by https response (s_vi and s_ecid) can be set to ‘secure’ by contacting Adobe Customer Care.

WARNING
If you enable the writeSecureCookies variable, make sure that all content on your site is served securely over HTTPS. Data collection does not work properly if this variable is enabled and you have insecure content on your page.

Use secure cookies with the Web SDK

If your site uses HTTPS protocol, the Secure attribute is set for all cookies that the Web SDK sets.
