Description

Hello!

Not sure if requests fit here, but would it possible to expand the explanations to explain what CSRF cookies are and how they work? There is an explanation on CORS so I would propose to have it next to one another.

Start by locating the existing CORS explanation in the tutorial and review the surrounding documentation structure. Add a neighboring explanation of CSRF cookies and how they work, with scope confirmed against the existing CORS content; done means the new explanation is clear and integrated with that section.
