Need guidance on how I can change the nexus application to the following:

1. Set settings on this specific cookie

e.g.: Set-Cookie: \< cookie-name \>=\< cookie-value \>; secure; HttpOnly; SameSite= ‘Lax’ or ‘Strict’

1. Set settings on this specific cookie with age.

e.g.: Set-Cookie: \< cookie-name \>=\< cookie-value \>; secure; HttpOnly; max-age=9999; SameSite= ‘Lax’ or ‘Strict’.

Please let me know for updates.

It sounds like you really want to change the session timeout? If so use the UI - [UI Settings Capability](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/nexus-repository-administration/capabilities/ui-settings-capability)
