Secure restricts transport
A cookie marked Secure is intended to be sent over HTTPS rather than ordinary HTTP. Sensitive session cookies should normally not travel over an unencrypted connection.
HttpOnly limits script access
HttpOnly tells the browser not to expose the cookie through normal JavaScript document-cookie access. It can reduce the impact of some script-injection scenarios involving session cookies.
SameSite affects cross-site sending
SameSite controls when a cookie is included in cross-site requests. Lax, Strict and None represent different trade-offs between functionality and cross-site exposure.
Review the cookie in context
Not every cookie is a login session. Analytics, preference and consent cookies have different sensitivity. Observe shows visible cookie attributes so the purpose and configuration can be reviewed together.

Field experience from the archive
Historical source · JufCorp: Securing your server environment - Part III - Operating systemsNow, this is a bit tricky but it may very well be worth the trouble There are fairly easy ways to implement executiion deny policies on servers ie only allowuing scripts and executables to be run from specific locations. If you know all paths where scripts and executables will be frun from , why not turn that on ? That way you will restrict any weird executions from %temp% etc
