Description
The Linkerd2 dashboard calls `versioncheck.linkerd.io` upon opening, to check if the user is running the latest version of Linkerd. The Chrome console has begun showing these alerts in the console after making the version check:

Text:
```
A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at https://linkerd.io/ was set without the `SameSite` attribute. A future release of Chrome will only deliver cookies with cross-site requests if they are set with `SameSite=None` and `Secure`. You can review cookies in developer tools under Application>Storage>Cookies and see more details at https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5088147346030592 and https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5633521622188032.
```
These are triggered by `versioncheck.linkerd.io` and by opening the Community Updates iFrame.
