SameSite Attribute

The SameSite attribute is a setting for cookies that helps control how they are sent with web requests. It enhances security by restricting cookies from being included in cross-site requests, which can prevent certain types of attacks like cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Essentially, it can be set to "Lax" to allow cookies in some cross-site navigation (like following a link), or "Strict" to only send cookies when you're on the same website. This setting gives website owners control over cookie behavior, balancing security and user experience.
