There are different ways to set cookies, via network requests or JavaScript. For web developers it may not be obvious, where a cookie came from. Therefore there should be a column within the cookies list indicating the source of the cookie similar to the 'Cause' column for network requests. This column would then either contain a reference to the network request or the JavaScript source that set the cookie. In case the network request is not listed (anymore) within the Network Monitor, the column should at least contain the URL of the request. Sebastian
