Measured on real domains over real certificates, Remark42 on one registrable domain and the host page on another, with a control cookie behind every blocked column so a run that blocks nothing cannot report a pass. Three results the manual did not carry. Safari blocks third-party cookies out of the box, so AUTH_SAME_SITE=none on its own has already stopped working there, which makes the old recipe broken today and not deprecated later. Firefox reaches a working session by a weaker route than Chrome and Safari do: it accepts the server's attribute-less cookie, and because that cookie is HttpOnly the browser then forbids the widget's script from replacing it, so the session rides on an ordinary unpartitioned third-party cookie even with the header flag on. And Firefox's block-all setting discards partitioned cookies too, so no configuration survives it. Two parameter descriptions were wrong in ways that matter here. AUTH_SAME_SITE default emits no SameSite attribute rather than Lax, which is precisely what lets the widget's own cookie land on Chrome and Safari. And AUTH_TTL_COOKIE does not govern the cookie that carries the session under the header flag, since the frontend hardcodes 200h to mirror the default.
