## Security for GitLab Pages
If your username is `foo`, your GitLab Pages website is located at `foo.gitlab.io`.
GitLab allows usernames to contain a `.`, so a user named `bar.foo` could create
a GitLab Pages website `bar.foo.gitlab.io` that effectively is a subdomain of your
`foo.gitlab.io` website. Be careful if you use JavaScript to set cookies for your website.
If your username is `example`, your GitLab Pages website is located at `example.gitlab.io`.
GitLab allows usernames to contain a `.`, so a user named `bar.example` could create
a GitLab Pages website `bar.example.gitlab.io` that effectively is a subdomain of your
`example.gitlab.io` website. Be careful if you use JavaScript to set cookies for your website.
The safe way to manually set cookies with JavaScript is to not specify the `domain` at all:
```javascript
// Safe: This cookie is only visible to foo.gitlab.io
// Safe: This cookie is only visible to example.gitlab.io
document.cookie = "key=value";
// Unsafe: This cookie is visible to foo.gitlab.io and its subdomains,
// Unsafe: This cookie is visible to example.gitlab.io and its subdomains,
// regardless of the presence of the leading dot.
document.cookie = "key=value;domain=.foo.gitlab.io";
document.cookie = "key=value;domain=foo.gitlab.io";
document.cookie = "key=value;domain=.example.gitlab.io";
document.cookie = "key=value;domain=example.gitlab.io";
