__Authelia__ relies on session cookies to authenticate users. When the user visits a website of the protected domain
`example.com` for the first time, Authelia detects that there is no cookie for that user. Consequently, Authelia
redirects the user to the login portal through which the user should authenticate to get a cookie which is valid for
`*.example.com`, meaning all websites of the domain. At the next request, Authelia receives the cookie associated to the
authenticated user and can then order the reverse proxy to let the request pass through to the application.
__Authelia__ relies on session cookies to authorize user access to various protected websites. This section configures
the session cookie behaviour and the domains which Authelia can service authorization requests for.
