Nice article! For the benefit of anyone reading who didn't take your advice and fully understand the issues first ;) Please, please, please remember you ONLY need SameSite=None; Secure for cookies that are sent in cross-site / third-party contexts. So, that means these embedded apps or services. Cookies for first-party use, i.e. the domain in the browser matches the domain of the cookie, then consider SameSite=Lax or SameSite=Strict instead. Do not just blindly add SameSite=None; Secure to every single cookie.

So for the Laravel session and XSRF Token cookies we should use SameSite="Strict at config/session.php? How would we implement this and only have this apply for these two cookies I am now getting warnings for?

cookie `host-name_staging_session` will be soon rejected because it has
 the “sameSite” attribute set to “none” or an invalid value, without the “secure” attribute. To know more about the “sameSite“ attribute, read

I'd suggest Lax for your session cookie, not Strict.
