Answer 1

1. In the client side, add this before any server communication:

   $.ajaxSetup({
       xhrFields: {
           withCredentials: true
       },
       async: true
   });
   

2. In the server side add these headers (PHP):

   header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://your-client-app-domain');
   header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: PUT, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS");
   header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With");
   header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true');
