Purpose Metadata For Signed And Encrypted Cookies
Purpose metadata prevents cookie values from being copy-pasted and ensures that the cookie is used only for its originally intended purpose. The Purpose and Expiry metadata are embedded inside signed/encrypted cookies and will not be readable on previous versions of Rails. We can switch off purpose and expiry metadata embedded in signed and encrypted cookies using config.action_dispatch.use_cookies_with_metadata = false if you want your cookies to be readable on older versions of Rails.
