SameSite cookie changes February 2020
From February 2020, web browsers will start enforcing some stricter rules about cookies. Chrome will be the first with others following in time. They keyword you may have seen is SameSite and what it basically means is that the default settings are more secure, and it will be easier for browsers to let users manage different types of cookies differently.
The important bit:
OpenAthens has already checked the operational parts of the service and users will not be affected during authentication, or lose their OpenAthens session because of this change - there is nothing to worry about there.
If you want to check this out in OpenAthens or any other site before your users start upgrading their browsers, you can and here's how:
Chrome
If you have version 76 or later you can manually change the setting to enforce this before version it starts being enabled by default (expected in v80). To do so enter this in your address bar:
chrome://flags/#cookies-without-same-site-must-be-secure
... and change the setting to enabled
Firefox
If you have version 69 or later you can manually change the setting to enforce this by going to about:config in the address bar and searching for:
network.cookie.sameSite.noneRequiresSecure
