Problem Note 65513: SAS® Visual Analytics reports embedded using the SDK stop working after browser updates that enforce SameSite cookies more strictly
 |  |  |  |  |
The SAS Visual Analytics SDK is a collection of JavaScript libraries that web developers can use to embed SAS Visual Analytics content within custom web pages and web apps.
SAS Visual Analytics reports embedded using the SDK might stop working after your browser is updated to enforce SameSite cookie settings more strictly. Notably, the Google Chrome 80 update in February 2020 has changed the default settings in relation to SameSite cookies. This change can introduce failures. (For more information, see https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site.)
When this problem occurs, you might see an error that is similar to the following:
If you believe that you are encountering this issue, you can confirm this by enabling the Chrome developer tools. If the report is impacted by this issue, you see a message that is similar to the following in the console logging:
without the 'SameSite' attribute. It has been blocked, as Chrome now only
delivers cookies with cross-site requests if they are set with 'SameSite=None' and 'Secure'.
