Mohamed Sayed	Hi, I got the reply from our developers. Please note that setting the wp-wpml_current_language cookie as "HttpOnly" is not recommended because it would prevent JavaScript from accessing the cookie. This attribute is typically used for server-side session cookies that don't need to be available to JavaScript. But in this case, the cookie should be available for Javascript to avoid affecting the AJAX calls from different themes/plugins on the site's front end (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/enabling-language-cookie-to-support-ajax-filtering/). Regards, Mohamed
