Browser complains about cookie "__test"

I’ve noticed recently that firefox is complaining about a cookie on my website https://lovebug.cf , im not even sure where this cookie is coming from

Is it possibly from the hosting security tests ? I have no idea

Cookie “__test” will be soon treated as cross-site cookie against “https://lovebug.cf/?page=servers” because the scheme does not match. 2 lovebug.cf
Cookie “__test” will be soon treated as cross-site cookie against “https://lovebug.cf/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js” because the scheme does not match. email-decode.min.js
Cookie “__test” will be soon treated as cross-site cookie against “https://lovebug.cf/images/favicon-mushroom-48.png” because the scheme does not match. favicon-mushroom-48.png
Cookie “__test” will be soon treated as cross-site cookie against “https://lovebug.cf/lovebug.css?1641861181” because the scheme does not match. 2 lovebug.css

The cookie _test is set by the security system.

thanks for pointing out that the __test cookie is part of the security tests as I suspected

now what is worrying me is the message about it will soon be treated as a cross site cookie, what will happen to my site when that happens ?

If browsers eventually start blocking this cross-site cookie does that mean the infinityfree websites will all fail ?

Browsers have said that for a long time. It doesn’t really mean anything (yet, at least).

Here’s an interesting article about cross-site and same-site cookies:

And of course one on the MDN:
