I’m currently using `localhost:5000` for my backend and` localhost:3000` for my frontend. When I log in I post login credentials to my backend and receive the `auth-token` as a cookie. I can see the cookie in “Cookies”. The problem is that when I try to access a private route, the cookie is not sent with the request, and therefore I cannot get authenticated.

How can I send the cookie with the request?
