Set-Cookie doesn't work in browser but does work with Postman
The front line is at localhost: 4200 and the backend is at localhost: 8080
I have implemented CORS configurations in my backend and frontend and all other API requests are working. However, the Set-Cookie flag does not create a cookie in my browser.
I even disabled CORS in chrome .
When I make a POST request with Postman, I see the Cookie correctly in the Cookie tabs. I cannot see the cookie in the web browser.

To be able to set cookies in this case, you have to allow all OPTIONS
requests to pass from the filter, since they do not contain cookies according to this question , more importantly, when requesting cookies from the server withCredentials
must be set to true as on the side server and client side. never forget to enable CORS requests on the server (you have to identify the origin, for example localhost:4200
using a wildcard *
won't work). Hope this helps those looking for an answer for this question.
