  - ### getCharset

    public Charset getCharset()
    Description copied from interface: `CookieProcessor`
    Obtain the character set that will be used when converting between bytes and characters when parsing and/or generating HTTP headers for cookies.
    Returns:
      The character set used for byte<->character conversions

  - ### parseCookieHeader

    public void parseCookieHeader(MimeHeaders headers, ServerCookies serverCookies)
    Description copied from interface: `CookieProcessor`
    Parse the provided headers into server cookie objects.
    Parameters:
      `headers` - The HTTP headers to parse
      `serverCookies` - The server cookies object to populate with the results of the parsing

  - ### generateHeader

    public String generateHeader(Cookie cookie)
    Description copied from interface: `CookieProcessor`
    Generate the `Set-Cookie` HTTP header value for the given Cookie.
    Parameters:
      `cookie` - The cookie for which the header will be generated
    Returns:
      The header value in a form that can be added directly to the response

  - ### generateHeader

    public String generateHeader(Cookie cookie, HttpServletRequest request)
    Description copied from interface: `CookieProcessor`
    Generate the `Set-Cookie` HTTP header value for the given Cookie. This method receives as parameter the servlet request so that it can make decisions based on request properties. One such use-case is deciding if the SameSite attribute should be added to the cookie based on the User-Agent or other request header because there are browser versions incompatible with the SameSite attribute. This is described by the Chromium project.

    The default implementation calls the deprecated `CookieProcessor.generateHeader(Cookie)` method. Implementors should not rely on this default method as it is present only for transitional compatibility and will be removed in Tomcat 10 at the same time as the `CookieProcessor.generateHeader(Cookie)` method.

    Parameters:
      `cookie` - The cookie for which the header will be generated
      `request` - The servlet request
    Returns:
      The header value in a form that can be added directly to the response
