CHROME 80 COOKIE CHANGES
As many of you may know already, Chrome version 80 will be making changes to the way in which cookies are managed. The change is to alter the default behavior of the Same-Site Cookie setting. Previously, the default value was "None", meaning that there were no Same-Site changes being applied to the Cookie behavior. The new default will be "Lax", which changes how Cookies can be exchanged between different sites. This change affects any website that utilizes Cookies and was not explicitly setting a value for Same-Site on their Cookies, including Brightspace. This will require all 3rd party cookies to explicitly specify that they should be included in a cross-site context.
These changes have an impact on both the LMS itself, and the tools that integrate with it. While work is being done on our side to account for these changes, changes may need to happen on the integration tool's to ensure they are handling their cookies appropriately.
You can learn more about this change in our recent community post here: https://community.brightspace.com/s/article/Chrome-80-Same-Site-Changes or the official blog post from Google here: https://blog.chromium.org/2019/10/developers-get-ready-for-new.html
