SameSite prevents the browser from sending this cookie along with cross-site requests. The main goal is mitigate the risk of cross-origin information leakage. It also provides some protection against cross-site request forgery attacks. Possible values for the flag are lax or strict.

RFC - https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site-00

The RFC does say that Updates: 6265 (if approved). I'm not sure about the policy if we follow. Do we not make changes until 6265 gets updated ?

OAWSP - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/SameSite

As of November 2017 the SameSite attribute is implemented in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

caniuse.com still shows a bit of red in places. But I guess it will be a good addition to applications which are security focused.
