 Controls whether the module uses cookies to share session info between server and client. You *must* enable this option if you need to access session or user info from the server. It will use the SSR client from the [@supabase/ssr](https://github.com/supabase/ssr) library.

+## SPA / CSR-only mode
+
+When your Nuxt app uses `ssr: false`, the module defaults [`useSsrCookies`](/getting-started/introduction#usessrcookies) to `false` so the browser client can restore the session from local storage before auth middleware runs. This keeps authenticated users signed in after a hard refresh in SPA mode.
+
+If you explicitly enable `useSsrCookies` in an SPA, make sure you handle session hydration yourself before protected-route redirects run.

 ## Log-in page - `/login`
 
 Each time a user is trying to access a page that needs authentication, he will automatically be redirected to the configured log in page. If you want to allow access to "public" page, you just need to add them in the [exclude](/getting-started/introduction#redirectoptions) redirect option. Alternatively, you can enable the redirect only for certain routes using the [include](/getting-started/introduction#redirectoptions) redirect option.
