Ah, i didnt find this using google

[Fedik]

Please test https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/40414

40414 will not bring a solution. Problem still exists with Google Chrome (not with Firefox). But error message changes from setcookie-Error to a 503 error code (service unavailable)

Error does not happen if language filter plugin is disabled. If enabled, cookie lifetime changed to "session" doesn't help
