+> [!NOTE]
+> `getSignedCookie` distinguishes two cases. A cookie that has a signature but fails verification returns `false`. A cookie that does not have a valid signature format is treated as not being a signed cookie at all and returns `undefined` — the same as when the cookie is not present. This rule applies both when retrieving a single cookie by name and when retrieving all signed cookies. Since both `false` and `undefined` are falsy, `if (!value)` handles both cases.

 ### Cookie Generation
 
 `generateCookie` and `generateSignedCookie` functions allow you to create cookie strings directly without setting them in the response headers.
