https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-cookie-same-site defines a `SameSite` cookie attribute which allows servers to mitigate the risk of cross-site request forgery attacks, as well as some kinds of cross-origin information leakage.

Chrome shipped this feature in 51 (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=459154#c32), Firefox is working on an implementation (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795346). It would be lovely if WebKit could do the same.
