This is the number of times a website requested information from cookiedatabase about this particular “cookie” used on their website.  

One Response

  1. When a load balancer first receives a request from a client, it routes the request to a target (based on the chosen algorithm), and generates a cookie named AWSALB. It encodes information about the selected target, encrypts the cookie, and includes the cookie in the response to the client. The load balancer generated cookie has its own expiry of 7 days which is non-configurable.

    With cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests, some browsers require SameSite=None; Secure to enable stickiness. In this case, the load balancer generates a second stickiness cookie, AWSALBCORS, which includes the same information as the original stickiness cookie plus the SameSite attribute. Clients receive both cookies.
