Magento uses the HTTPOnly flag when setting cookies for security reasons. There is also a system configuration setting available in the Cookie Settings to turn it on and off. What is the purpose of this flag?
I practiced a similar question last week, and I think the purpose of the HTTPOnly flag is to enhance cookie security by restricting access from JavaScript. That makes me think B is correct.
B) To prevent cookies from being accessible via JavaScript - Bingo! HTTPOnly is the cookie security superhero, protecting our cookies from those sneaky JavaScript villains. Now, where's my cape?

D) To prevent cookies from being delivered over HTTPS - Oof, that's a big no-no. HTTPOnly is all about keeping the cookies away from JavaScript, not the other way around.

C) To prevent Cross Site Tracing (XST) attacks - Haha, nice try, but I don't think XST is a real thing. Maybe the person who wrote this question was just trying to be fancy and confuse us.

A) To prevent cookies from being intercepted via a CSRF attack - Hmm, not quite. That's what the CSRF token is for. HTTPOnly is all about keeping JavaScript away from our precious cookies.
B) To prevent cookies from being accessible via JavaScript - That's the purpose of the HTTPOnly flag, right? Gotta keep those cookies secure from those pesky JavaScript hackers!
