could this be the issue? I’m running the api on `localhost:4433` and my app on `localhost:3000`

<@U02NC04BE8P> no, localhost is the domain, the port does not matter when it comes to cookies.

You are most likely not including the cookies on the request to kratos.
```withCredentials: true```

does that also have to be set when its not cross domain?

I did notice adding that fixed it - I just thought it was only because of cross origin

```withCredentials: true```
should always be there on your axios configs.
CORS is usually to do with the server-side
