@@ -15,6 +15,9 @@ The following settings are available for configuration in `config/initializers/d
 | **`enable_standard_devise_support`** (`false`) |  By default, only Bearer Token authentication is implemented out of the box. If, however, you wish to integrate with legacy Devise authentication, you can do so by enabling this flag. NOTE: This feature is highly experimental! |
 | **`remove_tokens_after_password_reset`** (`false`) | By default, old tokens are not invalidated when password is changed. Enable this option if you want to make passwords updates to logout other devices. |
 | **`default_callbacks`**  (`true`) |  By default User model will include the `DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::UserOmniauthCallbacks` concern, which has `email`, `uid` validations & `uid` synchronization callbacks. |
+| **`cookie_enabled`** (`false`) | Specifies if DeviseTokenAuth should send and receive the auth token in a cookie.
+| **`cookie_name`** (`"auth_cookie"`) | Sets the name of the cookie containing the auth token.
+| **`cookie_attributes`** (`{}`) | Sets attributes for the cookie containing the auth token (ex. `domain`, `secure`, `httponly`, `same_site`, `expires`, `encrypt`). See [this Rails doc](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Cookies.html) for what values can be passed to `ActionDispatch::Cookies`. See [this MDN doc](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies) for additional information on HTTP cookie attributes.
 | **`bypass_sign_in`** (`true`) | By default DeviseTokenAuth will not check user's `#active_for_authentication?` which includes confirmation check on each call (it will do it only on sign in). If you want it to be validated on each request (for example, to be able to deactivate logged in users on the fly), set it to false. |
 | **`send_confirmation_email`** (`false`) | By default DeviseTokenAuth will not send confirmation email, even when including devise confirmable module. If you want to use devise confirmable module and send email, set it to true. (This is a setting for compatibility) |
 | **`require_client_password_reset_token`** (`false`) | By default, the password-reset confirmation link redirects to the client with valid session credentials as querystring params. With this option enabled, the redirect will NOT include the valid session credentials. Instead the redirect will include a password_reset_token querystring param that can be used to reset the users password. Once the user has reset their password, the password-reset success response headers will contain valid session credentials. |
