 * Hi,
 * Can you please advise that a WordPress site need cookie with same site attribute?
   Because we are using plugins and no custom codes for any kind of cookies (for
   storing info).
 * As a part of security, we have to check this.

 * Ok. Is there any issuewith adding this?
 * setcookie(“cookiename”, “cookievalue”, [“samesite” => “Strict”]);
 * Also we don’t have any console issues related to cookie same-site attribute

 * In my test, it works without any problems. However, such an entry in `wp-config.
   php` does not make sense purely in terms of the method and some plugins may not
   be compatible with it. A better solution in terms of WordPress would probably
   be an addition via init hook, as described here: [https://iamsteve.me/blog/setting-a-cookie-with-wordpress](https://iamsteve.me/blog/setting-a-cookie-with-wordpress)–
   however, this would have to be added in the `functions.php` of a child theme,
   in an individual plugin or via a code snippet plugin.
