They shouldn't be logging in via the webview within the app anyway, so that's moot.

We are using cookies, as the post says, as a fallback authentication so devs can browse the API from a browser if they're logged in to the site.

Why are devs using a browser to hit API endpoints? There are much better tools. My preferred one is called Paw (https://paw.cloud) but there are others.
Because Paw is GBP 39.99 and a browser is free?
There are other free tools too, like Postman (https://www.getpostman.com).
True, I actually use Postman in Chrome, forgot to mention that.
