# Cookie Parameters { #cookie-parameters }

You can define Cookie parameters the same way you define `Query` and `Path` parameters.

## Import `Cookie` { #import-cookie }

First import `Cookie`:

{* ../../docs_src/cookie_params/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[3] *}

## Declare `Cookie` parameters { #declare-cookie-parameters }

Then declare the cookie parameters using the same structure as with `Path` and `Query`.

You would have **one single `engine` object** for all your code to connect to the same database.

{* ../../docs_src/sql_databases/tutorial001_an_py310.py ln[14:18] hl[14:15,17:18] *}

Using `check_same_thread=False` allows FastAPI to use the same SQLite database in different threads. This is necessary as **one single request** could use **more than one thread** (for example in dependencies).

But in our code we are actually using `secrets.compare_digest()`.

In short, it will take the same time to compare `stanleyjobsox` to `stanleyjobson` than it takes to compare `johndoe` to `stanleyjobson`. And the same for the password.

That way, using `secrets.compare_digest()` in your application code, it will be safe against this whole range of security attacks.

## Include the same router multiple times with different `prefix` { #include-the-same-router-multiple-times-with-different-prefix }

You can also use `.include_router()` multiple times with the *same* router using different prefixes.

This could be useful, for example, to expose the same API under different prefixes, e.g. `/api/v1` and `/api/latest`.

    @Test
    @DisplayName("MonotonicClock singleton instance should always return the same instance")
    void testSingletonInstance() {
        MonotonicClock clock1 = MonotonicClock.get();
        MonotonicClock clock2 = MonotonicClock.get();

        assertSame(clock1, clock2, "Multiple calls to get() should return the same instance");
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("MonotonicClock should always use UTC timezone")

After that, all of the processing logic is the same.

But because of our changes in `GzipRequest.body`, the request body will be automatically decompressed when it is loaded by **FastAPI** when needed.

## Accessing the request body in an exception handler { #accessing-the-request-body-in-an-exception-handler }

/// tip

This is the same mechanism used when you give permissions while logging in with Facebook, Google, GitHub, etc:

## JWT token with scopes { #jwt-token-with-scopes }

Now, modify the token *path operation* to return the scopes requested.

* **Machine Learning**: it normally requires lots of "matrix" and "vector" multiplications. Think of a huge spreadsheet with numbers and multiplying all of them together at the same time.

    @DisplayName("Constructor stores and exposes same array reference")
    void constructor_and_get_referenceSemantics() {
        // Arrange
        byte[] data = new byte[] { (byte) 0xDE, (byte) 0xAD, (byte) 0xBE, (byte) 0xEF };

        // Act
        SecurityBlob blob = new SecurityBlob(data);

        // Assert
        assertSame(data, blob.get(), "get() should expose the same array reference passed in");

query_or_cookie_extractor(["query_or_cookie_extractor"])

read_query["/items/"]

query_extractor --> query_or_cookie_extractor --> read_query
```

## Using the same dependency multiple times { #using-the-same-dependency-multiple-times }

If one of your dependencies is declared multiple times for the same *path operation*, for example, multiple dependencies have a common sub-dependency, **FastAPI** will know to call that sub-dependency only once per request.
