AuthCookie maintainer here.

Its the path that will be sent in the HTTP Cookie.

As already mentioned by others is the path component of the cookie.

If you set a cookie with path=/foo for example, that cookie is only
supposed to be sent by the client for urls that begin with /foo.

For example if you have a directory called /secure, and you only require
AuthCookie authentication to access urls under this directory, you might
set the path to /secure
