CSRF protection: Automatically sets the SameSite flag on authentication cookies, preventing unauthorized requests from other sites.
Broad PHP compatibility: Includes a polyfill to support all PHP versions that the platform supports, not just newer releases.
No admin interface needed: Once activated, it works immediately without requiring settings adjustments in the dashboard.
Configurable flag values: Allows customization of the SameSite flag (Lax, Strict, or None) through a simple configuration file edit.
Focus on authentication cookies: Specifically targets login-related cookies, ensuring core security without affecting other plugin cookies.
