The [Chromium browser](https://www.chromium.org/Home) [v80 update](https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/schedule) brought a mandate where HTTP cookies without [SameSite](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-03#rfc.section.5.3.7) attribute have to be treated as SameSite=Lax. For CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) requests, if the cookie has to be sent in a third-party context, it has to use *SameSite=None; Secure* attributes and it should be sent over HTTPS only. Otherwise, in an HTTP only scenario, the browser doesn't send the cookies in the third-party context. The goal of this update from Chrome is to enhance security and to avoid Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
