Since I am fairly new to web technologies and standards, I seem to have missed something:

This is the implementation of SecureCookie. Since the cookie is not saved to the response if it is not modified, I am guessing that per standard/protocol, the backend is not responsible for sending the cookie again, as it should already be on the client. It would be great to find a reference to this.
