Set-Cookie was blocked because its Domain attribute was invalid with regards to the current host url


I have a react frontend with domain sambat.io, deployed to Vercel (Zeit) and a Node API deployed to Heroku with this domain https://safe-ridge-68566.herokuapp.com/ and cookie setup like this:

res.cookie('something', 'ckwdnjwedjbdh3bhbd2hdbhbhbhfbdsf', {
    httpOnly: true,
    sameSite: 'none',
    domain: '.sambat.io',
    secure: true
  })

When I access the front-end, I can see the Set-Cookie header on the response but it won't set the cookie and there's this warning:

This Set-Cookie was blocked because its Domain attribute was invalid with regards to the current host url.

What did I miss here?

Here's the detail of the network request and response:

Solution

  • I think the issue is because the front end and backend do not have the same domain try to have the backend on the same domain by probably creating a subdomain.

    If you face any further issues please do let me know.

    Happy programming.
