Support for Same-Site cookies has landed in Firefox 60, but as of Python 3.6 the standard library cookie module doesn't support the SameSite attribute.

Android System WebView To prepare, Android allows native apps to set cookies directly through the CookieManager API. You must declare first party cookies as SameSite=Lax or SameSite=Strict , as appropriate. You must declare third party cookies as SameSite=None; Secure .
Fixing common warnings The warning appears because any cookie that requests SameSite=None but is not marked Secure will be rejected. To fix this, you will have to add the Secure attribute to your SameSite=None cookies. A Secure cookie is only sent to the server with an encrypted request over the HTTPS protocol.
SameSite cookie attribute is used by browsers to identify how first- and Third-Party Cookies should be handled. Browsers can either allow or block such cookies depending on attribute and scenario.
Resolve this issue by updating the attributes of the cookie: Specify SameSite=None and Secure if the cookie is intended to be set in cross-site contexts. Note that only cookies sent over HTTPS may use the Secure attribute.
The SameSite attribute of the Set-Cookie HTTP response header allows you to declare if your cookie should be restricted to a first-party or same-site context. The SameSite attribute accepts three values: Cookies are allowed to be sent with top-level navigations and will be sent along with GET request initiated by third party website.
If not specified, cookies SameSite attribute takes the value SameSite=Lax by default. Cookies are sent automatically only in a first party context and with HTTP GET requests. SameSite cookies are withheld on cross site sub requests, such as calls to load images or iframes.
Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite HTTP Cookies Attributes and Set-Cookie Explained 1 HttpOnly attribute. HttpOnly attribute focus is to prevent access to cookie values via JavaScript, mitigation against Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. 2 SameSite attribute. ... 3 Secure attribute. ... 4 Set-Cookie. ... 5 Conclusion. ...
Cookies without a SameSite attribute will be treated as SameSite=Lax. Cookies with SameSite=None must also specify Secure, meaning they require a secure context. Chrome implements this default behavior as of version 84. Firefox has them available to test as of Firefox 69 and will make them default behaviors in the future.
Support for the SameSite attribute was added on April 7, 2018 in Pull Request #6413.
It's possible to monkey-patch older versions to support the attribute:
try:
from http.cookies import Morsel
except ImportError:
from Cookie import Morsel
Morsel._reserved[str('samesite')] = str('SameSite')
Or using six:
from six.moves.http_cookies import Morsel
Morsel._reserved[str('samesite')] = str('SameSite')
