Why is the KEYLOAK_SESSION cookie not an http only cookie? Is there a reason for that?

However, the second login logs the older user out, because of the KEYCLOAK_SESSION cookie which is stored in the "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies" directory. The problem is, that this cookie is not set to httpOnly.
