Cross-Domain Cookies - cookies

I have two webapps WebApp1 and WebApp2 in two different domains.
I am setting a cookie in WebApp1 in the HttpResponse.
How to read the same cookie from HttpRequest in WebApp2?
I know it sounds weird because cookies are specific to a given domain, and we can't access them from different domains; I've however heard of CROSS-DOMAIN cookies which can be shared across multiple webapps. How to implement this requirement using CROSS-DOMAIN cookies?
Note: I am trying this with J2EE webapps

Yes, it is absolutely possible to get the cookie from domain1.example by domain2.example. I had the same problem for a social plugin of my social network, and after a day of research I found the solution.
First, on the server side you need to have the following headers:
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://origin.domain:port");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, *");
Within the PHP-file you can use $_COOKIE[name]
Second, on the client side:
Within your AJAX request you need to include 2 parameters
crossDomain: true
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true }
Example:
type: "get",
url: link,
crossDomain: true,
dataType: 'json',
xhrFields: {
withCredentials: true
}

As other people say, you cannot share cookies, but you could do something like this:
centralize all cookies in a single domain, let's say cookiemaker.example
when the user makes a request to example.com you redirect him to cookiemaker.example
cookiemaker.example redirects him back to example.com with the information you need
Of course, it's not completely secure, and you have to create some kind of internal protocol between your apps to do that.
Lastly, it would be very annoying for the user if you do something like that in every request, but not if it's just the first.
But I think there is no other way.

As far as I know, cookies are limited by the "same origin" policy. However, with CORS you can receive and use the "Server B" cookies to establish a persistent session from "Server A" on "Server B".
Although, this requires some headers on "Server B":
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://server-a.example.com
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
And you will need to send the flag "withCredentials" on all the "Server A" requests (ex: xhr.withCredentials = true;)
You can read about it here:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Access_control_CORS

There's no such thing as cross domain cookies. You could share a cookie between foo.example.com and bar.example.com but never between example.com and example2.com and that's for security reasons.

The smartest solution is to follow facebook's path on this. How does facebook know who you are when you visit any domain? It's actually very simple:
The Like button actually allows Facebook to track all visitors of the external site, no matter if they click it or not. Facebook can do that because they use an iframe to display the button. An iframe is something like an embedded browser window within a page. The difference between using an iframe and a simple image for the button is that the iframe contains a complete web page – from Facebook. There is not much going on on this page, except for the button and the information about how many people have liked the current page.
So when you see a like button on cnn.com, you are actually visiting a Facebook page at the same time. That allows Facebook to read a cookie on your computer, which it has created the last time you’ve logged in to Facebook.
A fundamental security rule in every browser is that only the website that has created a cookie can read it later on. And that is the advantage of the iframe: it allows Facebook to read your Facebook-cookie even when you are visiting a different website. That’s how they recognize you on cnn.com and display your friends there.

Cross-domain cookies are not allowed (i.e. site A cannot set a cookie on site B).
But once a cookie is set by site A, you can send that cookie even in requests from site B to site A (i.e. cross-domain requests):
XMLHttpRequest from a different domain cannot set cookie values for their own domain unless withCredentials is set to true before making the request. The third-party cookies obtained by setting withCredentials to true will still honor same-origin policy and hence can not be accessed by the requesting script through document.cookie or from response headers.
Make sure to do these things:
When setting the cookie in a response
The Set-Cookie response header includes SameSite=None if the requests are cross-site (note a request from www.example.dev to static.example.dev is actually a same-site request, and can use SameSite=Strict)
The Set-Cookie response header should include the Secure attribute if served over HTTPS; as seen here and here
When sending/receiving the cookie:
The request is made with withCredentials: true, as mentioned in other answers here and here, including the original request whose response sets the cookie set in the first place
For the fetch API, this attribute is credentials: 'include', vs withCredentials: true
For jQuery's ajax method, note you may need to supply argument crossDomain: true
The server response includes cross-origin headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, and Access-Control-Allow-Methods
As #nabrown points out: "Note that the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" cannot be the wildcard (*) value if you use the withCredentials: true" (see #nabrown's comment which explains one workaround for this.
In general:
Your browser hasn't disabled 3rd-party cookies. (* see below)
Things that you don't need (just use the above):
domain attribute in the Set-Cookie; you can choose a root domain (i.e. a.example.com can set a cookie with a domain value of example.com, but it's not necessary; the cookie will still be sent to a.example.com, even if sent from b.other-site.example
For the cookie to be visible in Chrome Dev Tools, "Application" tab; if the value of cookie HttpOnly attribute is true, Chrome won't show you the cookie value in the Application tab (it should show the cookie value when set in the initial request, and sent in subsequent responses where withCredentials: true)
Notice the difference between "path" and "site" for Cookie purposes. "path" is not security-related; "site" is security-related:
path
Servers can set a Path attribute in the Set-Cookie, but it doesn't seem security related:
Note that path was intended for performance, not security. Web pages having the same origin still can access cookie via document.cookie even though the paths are mismatched.
site
The SameSite attribute, according to example.dev article, can restrict or allow cross-site cookies; but what is a "site"?
It's helpful to understand exactly what 'site' means here. The site is the combination of the domain suffix and the part of the domain just before it. For example, the www.example.dev domain is part of the example.dev site...
This means a request to static.example.dev from www.example.dev, is a sameSite request (the only difference in the URLs is in the subdomains).
The public suffix list defines this, so
it's not just top-level domains like .com but also includes services
like github.io
This means a request to your-project.github.io from my-project.github.io, is a a cross-site request (these URLs are at different domains, because github.io is the domain suffix; the domains your-project vs my-project are different; hence different sites)
This means what's to the left of the public suffix; is the subdomain (but the subdomain is a part of the host; see the BONUS reply in this answer)
www is the subdomain in www.example.dev; same site as static.example.dev
your-project is the domain in your-project.github.io; separate site as my-project.github.io
In this URL https://www.example.com:8888/examples/index.html, remember these parts:
the "protocol": https://
the "scheme": https
the "port": 8888
the "domain name" aka location.hostname: www.example.com
the "domain suffix" aka "top-level domain" (TLD): com
the "domain": example
the "subdomain": www (the subdomain could be single-level (like www) or multi-level (like foo.bar in foo.bar.example.com)
the "site" (as in "cross-site" if another URL had a different "site" value): example.com
"site" = "domain" + "domain suffix" = example.com
the "path": /examples/index.html

You cannot share cookies across domains. You can however allow all subdomains to have access. To allow all subdomains of example.com to have access, set the domain to .example.com.
It's not possible giving other.example access to example.com's cookies though.

Do what Google is doing. Create a PHP file that sets the cookie on all 3 domains. Then on the domain where the theme is going to set, create a HTML file that would load the PHP file that sets cookie on the other 2 domains. Example:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>Please wait.....</p>
<img src="http://domain2.example/setcookie.php?theme=whateveryourthemehere" />
<img src="http://domain3.example/setcookie.php?theme=whateveryourthemehere" />
</body>
</html>
Then add an onload callback on body tag. The document will only load when the images completely load that is when cookies are set on the other 2 domains. Onload Callback:
<head>
<script>
function loadComplete(){
window.location="http://domain1.example";//URL of domain1
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadComplete()">
setcookie.php
We set the cookies on the other domains using a PHP file like this:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['theme'])){
setcookie("theme", $_GET['theme'], time()+3600);
}
?>
Now cookies are set on the three domains.

You can attempt to push the cookie val to another domain using an image tag.
Your mileage may vary when trying to do this because some browsers require you to have a proper P3P Policy on the WebApp2 domain or the browser will reject the cookie.
If you look at plus.google.com p3p policy you will see that their policy is:
CP="This is not a P3P policy! See http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151657 for more info."
that is the policy they use for their +1 buttons to these cross domain requests.
Another warning is that if you are on https make sure that the image tag is pointing to an https address also otherwise the cookies will not set.

There's a decent overview of how Facebook does it here on nfriedly.com
There's also Browser Fingerprinting, which is not the same as a cookie, but serves a like purpose in that it helps you identify a user with a fair degree of certainty. There's a post here on Stack Overflow that references upon one method of fingerprinting

I've created an NPM module, which allows you to share locally-stored data across domains:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-toss
By using an iframe hosted on Domain A, you can store all of your user data on Domain A, and reference that data by posting requests to the Domain A iframe.
Thus, Domains B, C, etc. can inject the iframe and post requests to it to store and access the desired data. Domain A becomes the hub for all shared data.
With a domain whitelist inside of Domain A, you can ensure only your dependent sites can access the data on Domain A.
The trick is to have the code inside of the iframe on Domain A which is able to recognize which data is being requested. The README in the above NPM module goes more in depth into the procedure.
Hope this helps!

Since it is difficult to do 3rd party cookies and also some browsers won't allow that.
You can try storing them in HTML5 local storage and then sending them with every request from your front end app.

One can use invisible iframes to get the cookies. Let's say there are two domains, a.example and b.example. For the index.html of domain a.example one can add (notice height=0 width=0):
<iframe height="0" id="iframe" src="http://b.example" width="0"></iframe>
That way your website will get b.example cookies assuming that http://b.example sets the cookies.
The next thing would be manipulating the site inside the iframe through JavaScript. The operations inside iframe may become a challenge if one doesn't own the second domain. But in case of having access to both domains referring the right web page at the src of iframe should give the cookies one would like to get.

Along with #Ludovic(approved answer) answers we need to check one more option when getting set-cookies header,
set-cookie: SESSIONID=60B2E91C53B976B444144063; Path=/dev/api/abc; HttpOnly
Check for Path attribute value also. This should be the same as your API starting context path like below
https://www.example.com/dev/api/abc/v1/users/123
or use below value when not sure about context path
Path=/;

Three main kinds of browser-based storage:
session storage
local storage
cookie storage
Secure cookies - are used by encrypted websites to offer protection from any possible threats from a hacker.
access cookie - document.cookie. This means that this cookie is exposed and can be exploited through cross-site scripting. The saved cookie values can be seen through the browser console.
As a precaution, you should always try to make your cookies inaccessible on the client-side using JavaScript.
HTTPonly - ensures that a cookie is not accessible using the JavaScript code. This is the most crucial form of protection against cross-scripting attacks.
A secure attribute - ensures that the browser will reject cookies unless the connection happens over HTTPS.
sameSite attribute improves cookie security and avoids privacy leaks.
sameSite=Lax - It is set to Lax (sameSite = Lax) meaning a cookie is only set when the domain in the URL of the browser matches the domain of the cookie, thus eliminating third party’s domains. This will restrict cross-site sharing even between different domains that the same publisher owns. we need to include SameSite=None to avoid the new default of Lax:
Note: There is a draft spec that requires that the Secure attribute be set to true when the SameSite attribute has been set to 'none'. Some web browsers or other clients may be adopting this specification.
Using includes as { withCredentials: true } must include all the cookies with the request from the front end.
const data = { email: 'youremailaddress#gmail.com' , password: '1234' };
const response = await axios.post('www.yourapi.com/login', data , { withCredentials: true });
Cookie should only be accepted over a secure HTTPS connection. In order to get this to work, we must move the web application to HTTPS.
In express.js
res.cookie('token', token, {
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24, // would expire after (for 15 minutes 1000 * 60 * 15 ) 15 minutes
httpOnly: true, // The cookie only accessible by the web server
sameSite: 'none',
secure: true, // Marks the cookie to be used with HTTPS only.
});

cookie set in DRF not coming over in request

my site is shofitv.com
I have my backend sending cookies over so users may access a protected cloudFront Distro.
The cookies are being generated fine.
They are being set but when I check my cookies via inspect element in my cookie tab I see none of my cookies present.
here is my code
def generate_signed_cookies(resource,expire_minutes, payload):
"""
#resource path to s3 object inside bucket(or a wildcard path,e.g. '/blah/*' or '*')
#expire_minutes how many minutes before we expire these access credentials (within cookie)
return tuple of domain used in resource URL & dict of name=>value cookies
"""
if not resource:
resource = '*'
dist_id = DOWNLOAD_DIST_ID
conn = CloudFrontConnection(AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY)
dist = SignedCookiedCloudfrontDistribution(conn,dist_id)
cookies = dist.create_signed_cookies(resource,expire_minutes=expire_minutes)
taco = HttpResponse(json.dumps(payload), content_type="application/json")
taco.set_cookie('CloudFront-Policy', cookies[1]['CloudFront-Policy'], httponly=False, domain="shofitv.com")
taco.set_cookie('CloudFront-Signature', cookies[1]['CloudFront-Signature'],
httponly=False, domain="shofitv.com")
taco.set_cookie('CloudFront-Key-Pair-Id', cookies[1]['CloudFront-Key-Pair-Id'],
httponly=False, domain="shofitv.com")
print('here is the taco')
print(taco)
return taco
again you wont see cloudFront-Policy, CloudFront-Signature or CloudFront-Key-Pair-Id in my cookies. And the functionality that this is supposed to enable isn't working. These two show me the cookies aren't coming over. What is the situation?
As per my understanding I am doing everything correctly

How can I embed in my site a CAPTCHA from another site, resolve it MANUALLY, send back to the original site and get the TOKEN?

The intention is not to resolve CAPTCHA automatically. Every user of my site will have to resolve the CAPTCHA.
The intention is to use free data from another site. These data are public and free, but to avoid massive requests, they are protected with CAPTCHA.
This is what I've done but doesn't work:
Create a proxy.php that manage and forward the requests to the original site.
Copy all headers from the original request (request of the CAPTCHA) and add them to the proxy. So, this is the form to resolve the CAPTCHA:
xxx is my site, example.com is the site that I want to resolve captcha and get data:
<img id="imgCaptcha" src="https://xxx/proxy.php?curl=https://example.com/Captcha&type=image&lang=it" style="width:200px;">
<input type="text" id="captcha">
<button type="button" id="btn_resolve">Resolve</button>
On button click, send the input text and check if it is resolved:
xxx is my site, example.com is the site that I want to resolve captcha and get data:
$('#btn_resolve').on('click',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var captcha = $('#captcha').val();
$.get('https://xxx/proxy.php?https://example.com/Captcha&type=check&captcha='+captcha, function(data, status) {
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
});
});
The result is always {"result":false,"token":"","message":null}
I think that the problem is with JSESSIONID cookie that I set in the proxy.php, but seems filtered out from Chrome with this motivation: "This cookie was blocked because its path was not an exact match for or a superdirectory of the request url's path".
Honestly I've got not clear if I can do this and how to do this: it seems that last versions of Chrome blocked some coockies. How can I do this with PHP CURL bypassing Chrome filters?
I resolved it adding all needed cookies in proxy.php file.
Proxy.php forward the request using curl.
This is a good starting point for a cross domain proxy in PHP that uses CURL commands
PHP CORS Proxy by softius
Then you can read JSESSIONID from after requesting the CAPTCHA image, and forward it to the proxy and add it and the others to the request:
header('Set-Cookie: cross-site-cookie=name; SameSite=None; Secure');
header('Set-Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=XXXXX');
if (isset($_REQUEST['jsessionid'])) {
setcookie("JSESSIONID", NULL, 0, "/");
header('Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID='.$_REQUEST['jsessionid']);
}

Adding Same-site; Secure to Cookies in Classic ASP

We are running a classic ASP website, and having issues with Cookies in Chrome browser. Chrome is enforcing the cookie to be set securely (https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5633521622188032)
We are setting a cookie as follows:
Response.AddHeader "Set-Cookie", "TestCookie=This is a Test; path=/; SameSite=None; Secure"
Response.Cookies("TestCookie").Expires = Date + 1
However, this has issues with Chrome, where sessions end abruptly when a resource of a different domain is called.
Chrome's cookie details show this:
Send for
Same-site connections only
Note there is no mention of "secure" as I think there should be.
What is the correct way of setting the Cookie in classic ASP for this?
There is a problem with your current approach to setting the Response Cookie.
By using Response.Cookies after setting the header using Set-Cookie you are in effect creating a new empty cookie called "TestCookie". Instead, you want to incorporate the expiry into the existing Set-Cookie header.
Testing your code, this is the Response header contents:
<%
Function FormatCookieDateTime(interval, value, tz)
Dim dt: dt = DateAdd(interval, value, Date())
Dim tm: tm = Time()
Dim result: result = WeekDayName(WeekDay(dt), True) & ", " & _
Right("00" & Day(dt), 2) & "-" & _
MonthName(Month(dt), True) & "-" & _
Year(dt) & " " & _
Right("00" & Hour(Time()), 2) & ":" & _
Right("00" & Minute(Time()), 2) & ":" & _
Right("00" & Second(Time()), 2) & " " & tz
FormatCookieDateTime = result
End Function
Response.AddHeader "Set-Cookie", "TestCookie=This is a Test; path=/; SameSite=None; Secure; expires=" & FormatCookieDateTime("d", 1, "GMT")
%>
Built a function that makes setting the expiry using the correct format easier.
Remember Secure is for Secure Connections
Because you are setting two cookies (one via AddHeader() and one via Response.Cookie) it might not be clear but the first cookie with Secure set will be ignored by chrome if the connection is not using HTTPS. In fact, if you look at the request in Chrome Dev Tools you should see a warning symbol next to the Set-Cookie header that says (when hovered over) something along the lines of;
This set-cookie had the "Secure" attribute but was not received over a secure connection.
The standard Response.Cookies method doesn't work reliably with cookies set by using the more low-level Reponse.Addheader. I have experienced the same thing.
I'm not able to test, but you might want to try two things:
don't use these two instructions in the same ASP codeblock. My guess is that setting the cookie using AddHeader() will bypass classic ASP's cookie collection. So Classic ASP will not know that this cookie has been set. What you could try is setting this cookie on one page, sending it to the browser, and on a different page set the expiration.
Try and set the expiration using the same AddHeader() instruction. You will have to look up how this is done on a header level, but it should certainly be possible.
I have some example code online that sets a secure and HTTPOnly cookie, using Response.AddHeader(), but it doesn't set an expiration, which results in a cookie that expires when the browser(tab) is closed:

Set domain cookie in HTTPoison (Elixir)

Ok, so my new problem in Elixir is that I can't set the explicit domain while creating cookies.
In this case:
HTTPoison.get("httpbin.org/cookies", [{"User-agent", #userAgent}], hackney: [
cookie: "cookie1=1 cookie2=2"] ) do
When I create a cookie it will store a domain like .httpbin.org but for dummy reason I need to set domain value like httpbin.org (without previous dot) .
I tried also with:
HTTPoison.get("httpbin.org/cookies", [{"User-agent", #userAgent}], hackney: [
cookie: "cookie1=1 domain=httpbin.org cookie2=2"] ) do
But of course the syntax expects domain as a cookie name and httpbin.org as a cookie value.
Thank you!
What's the reason you want to remove the dot in the beginning? It's optional and it should match the entire domain with/without the dot.
How do browser cookie domains work?
Also, I think the domain attribute would be for the Set-Cookie header returned from HTTP server rather than requesting from the client. The httpbin (https://httpbin.org/cookies/set) returns the Set-Cookie header, but it doesn't specify domain attribute (just Path=/). It would be taken as .httpbin.org by clients like browsers.
iex(25)> response = HTTPoison.get!("https://httpbin.org/cookies/set?k2=v2&k1=v1")
%HTTPoison.Response{body: "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN\">\n<title>Redirecting...</title>\n<h1>Redirecting...</h1>\n<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: /cookies. If not click the link.",
headers: [{"Server", "nginx"}, {"Date", "Fri, 18 Dec 2015 23:49:46 GMT"},
{"Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8"}, {"Content-Length", "223"},
{"Connection", "keep-alive"}, {"Location", "/cookies"},
{"Set-Cookie", "k2=v2; Path=/"}, {"Set-Cookie", "k1=v1; Path=/"},
{"Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"},
{"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true"}], status_code: 302}
iex(26)> :hackney.cookies(response.headers)
[{"k1", [{"k1", "v1"}, {"Path", "/"}]}, {"k2", [{"k2", "v2"}, {"Path", "/"}]}]
Sorry if I'm missing the point.

I am trying to create a way for my users to have a "remember me" option when they log in. However as it stands, no matter what I try, when I view the cookie in my browser, it just shows Expires: At end of session. So once I close my browser and come back to my page, I am logged out.
In my settings.py I have set
SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = False
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 10000000
Which I assume are what I need to do...
On the front-end (which is in AngularJS) I have the following for the cookie storage:
$http.post('http://localhost:8000/auth/login/', {email: this.login['arguments'][0]['email'], password: this.login['arguments'][0]['password']})
.success(function(response){
if (response.token){
$cookieStore.put('djangotoken', response.token);
$http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Token ' + response.token;
}
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config){
$cookieStore.remove('djangotoken');
});
If someone could show me how to get my cookies to just stay for the designated age I set that would be greatly appreciated!
You're setting the cookie directly from Angular, so it has nothing to do with the Django session cookie age. You need to pass the expiration time when you set the cookie.
Unfortunately, the built-in Angular cookieStore api is unnecessarily restrictive and does not support this. It looks like a good alternative is angular-cookie.
