Preview cookie not available on Google Chrome

Developing with Prismic
1

Hi,

Our team is having issues previewing on Google Chrome. We debugged this and it seems that the io.prismic.previewSession cookie is being set without the SameSite attribute causing it to be rejected in the latest version of chrome and safari. This may be a regression from the fix here.

I added a screenshot of my cookies to this github issue where you can see the SameSite attribute is not being set for that cookie. You can also see there is a cookie being set with the key=SameSite and value=None which appears to be a mistake.

Let me know if you need any additional information or have any information about a fix.

Thank you!
Vivian

Hello Vivian, could you please provide me with the version of chrome you're previewing with and the URL of your repository? (You can send that to me in a private dm). We're currently making tests about similar issues reported in the lasts hours.

Thanks a lot

Hi Paulina,

Thank you for taking a look into this! I'm seeing this issue with Chrome Version 86.0.4240.198.

Also we tested changing this chrome flag - chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies to disabled and that resolves this issue but it is not as secure so we don't want to use that as a long term solution.

I will also send along the repository URL in a private DM.

Thanks again and let me know if you need anything else!

Hey Vivian, thank you for the details. There seems to be an issue with previews for repositories linked to Slicemachine. It seems to be on Chrome and we think it's to do with a cookie policy issue, we rolled out a fix previously on other groups. We're looking in to it and we'll update you here once we know more.

Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue, the preview links work in Safari, but on Chrome the API returns a 404 error

Hi Allan,

I'm investigating this for you now. I'll update you when I know more.

Thanks.

Hey Phil,

I had the Privacy Badger extension running in Chrome which must've blocked something that the preview cookie needed (although I think the list only contained ga cookies?). I turned that off and deleted all cookies which fixed the preview link.

Cheers,
Allan

Hi Allan,

I'll be happy to help debug this.

Can you tell me:

  1. What technology your application is built in, with the version
  2. The URL of your repo

Thanks.

OK, that sounds like it might be the issue. Since we use cookies to build the preview on top of your browser, blocking cookies would cause the preview to fail.

So I don't think this is the same site cookie issue.
