I generally use this to start a new session <?php session_start( [ 'name' => DEBUG ? 'SessionId' : '__Secure-SessionId', 'cookie_lifetime' => 0, 'cookie_path' => '/', 'cookie_domain' => $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'cookie_secure' => true, 'cookie_httponly' => true, 'cookie_samesite' => 'Strict', 'sid_length' => 96, 'sid_bits_per_character' => 5, 'use_strict_mode' => true, 'referer_check' => $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], ] ); ?> which will create a session with increased entropy in the session cookie name, requires a secure session, make sure roque referers have no chance at my logon page among other things. According to MDN[1] prefix "__Secure-" must be set for secure sessions.
