# Disable secure cookie debugging

Manage the log messages related to cookies in your instance.

If the **glide.secure\_cookie.debug** system property isn't set to the default value of **false**, then debug messages in the SecureUserCookie and Cookie class are logged in localhost log.

Ensure that the property **glide.secure\_cookie.debug** is set to **false**.
