How to fix "set SameSite cookie to none" warning?
As the new feature comes, SameSite=None
cookies must also be marked as Secure
or they will be rejected.
One can find more information about the change on chromium updates and on this blog post
Note: not quite related directly to the question, but might be useful for others who landed here as it was my concern at first during development of my website:
if you are seeing the warning from question that lists some 3rd party sites (in my case it was google.com, huh) - that means they need to fix it and it's nothing to do with your site. Of course unless the warning mentions your site, in which case adding Secure
should fix it.
I'm also in a "trial and error" for that, but this answer from Google Chrome Labs' GitHub helped me a little. I defined it into my main file and it worked - well, for only one third-party domain. Still making tests, but I'm eager to update this answer with a better solution :)
I'm using PHP 7.4 now, and this syntax is working good (Sept 2020):
$cookie_options = array(
'expires' => time() + 60*60*24*30,
'path' => '/',
'domain' => '.example.com', // leading dot for compatibility or use subdomain
'secure' => true, // or false
'httponly' => false, // or false
'samesite' => 'None' // None || Lax || Strict
);
setcookie('cors-cookie', 'my-site-cookie', $cookie_options);
If you have PHP 7.2 or lower (as Robert's answered below):
setcookie('key', 'value', time()+(7*24*3600), "/; SameSite=None; Secure");
If your host is already updated to PHP 7.3, you can use (thanks to Mahn's comment):
setcookie('cookieName', 'cookieValue', [
'expires' => time()+(7*24*3600,
'path' => '/',
'domain' => 'example.com',
'samesite' => 'None',
'secure' => true,
'httponly' => true
]);
Another thing you can try to check the cookies, is to enable the flag below, which—in their own words—"will add console warning messages for every single cookie potentially affected by this change":
chrome://flags/#cookie-deprecation-messages
See the whole code at: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/samesite-examples/blob/master/php.md, they have the code for same-site-cookies
too.
>= PHP 7.3
setcookie('key', 'value', ['samesite' => 'None', 'secure' => true]);
< PHP 7.3
exploit the path
setcookie('key', 'value', time()+(7*24*3600), "/; SameSite=None; Secure");
Emitting javascript
echo "<script>document.cookie('key=value; SameSite=None; Secure');</script>";
