How to adjust SameSite

I am heavily a beginner and I'm very confused as to how to implement changing the SameSite attribute.

There does seem plenty of similar posts , I understand I need to change the SameSite to sameSite: 'none', secure: true - I'm just not sure where to place it within my code.

I am building a website using html and javascript, testing on a local server using Node.js.

I understand there is an example that shows me the adjustment, I'm just confused as to where in my code to make such an adjustment.

This is a result of the following error:

Because a cookie’s SameSite attribute was not set or is invalid, it defaults to SameSite=Lax, which prevents the cookie from being sent in a cross-site request. This behavior protects user data from accidentally leaking to third parties and cross-site request forgery. Resolve this issue by updating the attributes of the cookie: Specify SameSite=None and Secure if the cookie should be sent in cross-site requests. This enables third-party use. Specify SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax if the cookie should not be sent in cross-site requests.

The cookie is to keep a user logged in over multiple pages using firebase authentication - do I need to specify the specific cookie? How does this effect security?
