ब्राउज़र सुरक्षा
Origin
http://192.168.1.25:3000The combination of protocol, host, and port.
Use origin to reason about CORS, cookies, and browser security rules.
Changing only the port creates a different origin.

https://app.example.com cannot freely read https://api.example.comA browser rule that restricts how pages can read data from other origins.
Use it to understand why browser API requests can fail even when the server is reachable.
https://app.example.com cannot freely read https://api.example.comExplain whether this is a same-origin policy problem.
ब्राउज़र सुरक्षा
CORS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://app.example.comA server-side permission system that lets browsers use responses from another origin.
Use it when a frontend app calls an API hosted on a different origin.
CORS must be allowed by the server that sends the response.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://app.example.comTell me whether this CORS error should be fixed in frontend code or server settings.
ब्राउज़र सुरक्षा
Cookie
Set-Cookie: session=abc; HttpOnlySmall data stored by the browser and sent back to matching sites.
Cookies are often used for sessions, preferences, and authentication state.
Set-Cookie: session=abc; HttpOnlyExplain whether this login state is stored in a cookie.

Use sessions to maintain login state or temporary server-side user data.
session_id=abc123Explain how this app keeps the user session.
ब्राउज़र सुरक्षा
Token
Authorization: Bearer <token>A string used to prove identity or permission.
Use tokens for API authentication, temporary access, and service-to-service requests.
Tokens can grant access, so they should not be exposed in public code or logs.
Authorization: Bearer <token>Check whether this token is being exposed to the browser.
ब्राउज़र सुरक्षा
