Now, I might be wrong, but both Request body and HTTP-only cookies, can be tracked by Network Tab in Chrome Dev Tools, in user's PC.
The only time it will be a threat, is whether it can be tracked via remote computer... HTTP-only cookies should not be able to be traced by JavaScript tricks -- not sure about Request Body, but every parts of URL (segments, query) definitely can be recorded..
HTTP only cookies can't be read by JavaScript yes, but if someone has physical access to your computer they might be the least of your worries :D
The content of the back and forth in the HTTP requests is going to be encrypted by the transport protocol if you use TLS but your "network tab" is obviously going to be able to see the content of the request/response, the goal is here to encrypt it when it's traveling through the wire. If the browser weren't able to decrypt the transmission you wouldn't even see this comment I'm writing.
Hope this helps!
