I need someone to explain to me what lax means, I don’t understand, break it down for me.
From MDN:
Values
The SameSite attribute accepts three values:
Lax
Cookies are allowed to be sent with top-level navigations and will be sent along with GET request initiated by third party website. This is the default value in modern browsers.
Strict
Cookies will only be sent in a first-party context and not be sent along with requests initiated by third party websites.
None
Cookies will be sent in all contexts, i.e sending cross-origin is allowed.
None used to be the default value, but recent browser versions made Lax the default value to have reasonably robust defense against some classes of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
None requires the Secure attribute in latest browser versions. See below for more information.
