How to set SameSite cookie in xampp apache server ?

The SameSite attribute is used in cookies to control how they are sent in cross-origin requests. It provides a way for websites to declare whether cookies should be restricted to the same site or same-site origin.

The SameSite cookie can have three possible values:

1. Strict
2. Lax
3. None
