  ****************************************************************
  In some scenarios, the Partitioned attribute may be added to
  cookies that do not contain the â??SameSite=Noneâ?? attribute.
  For
  example, if sessionâ??s CookiePartitioned configuration is set
  to strict, and channelâ??s sameSitePartitioned configuration is
  set to all (via the wildcard), then the session cookie would
  contain both â??Partitionedâ?? and â??SameSite=Strictâ??.
  The code was updated to avoid adding Partitioned to cookies
  that do not contain â??SameSite=Noneâ??.
  Note that this bug is harmless and should not impact the
  behavior. Browsers would ignore the Partitioned attribute
  since cookies would only be shared in cross-site requests if
  â??SameSite=Noneâ?? was set.
