I've been doing some testing with fetch requests and noticed something odd: after I perform a fetch that sets a cookie, a follow-up fetch sometimes fails to send that cookie. It seems sporadic, like there's a delay in the browser updating its cookie storage. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you tackle it?

Typically, by the time your first fetch completes and you receive the full response, the cookie should be set in the browser. If you're initiating a second fetch right after receiving the first response, it’s strange that it wouldn't include the cookie. One thing you can try is ensuring that you fully consume the response (like using `await response.json()` or similar) before firing off the next request. That should help confirm the cookie is set. Do you have any other browser details that might be relevant?
It sounds like you might be dealing with a race condition. Sometimes, if your requests are happening too fast, the browser might not get the chance to update its cookie jar before the next fetch starts. Have you tried adding a slight delay or checking how your server handles the cookie?
