This setting enables more control of when the browser include cookies in requests. Its set to `lax` by default but can be configured using `cookie_samesite` under `[security]`
Besides these changes we have also made security improvements regarding Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities:
* Cookies are per default using the [SameSite](/installation/configuration/#cookie-samesite) attribute to protect against CSRF attacks
* Script tags in text panels are per default [disabled](/installation/configuration/#disable-sanitize-html) to protect against XSS attacks

but our goal is to remove this requirements in a near future.
We also disable script tags in text panels by default to avoid Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
