Sounds like your use case needs middleware. You set the cookie on the incoming request if its missing, and also in the response that'll be send down.

Be mindful that cookies have become a bit of a legal subject. Often users have to at least be notified of their presence.

is this the best way ? becuase middleware will make the logging to my website in some cases where users doesn't have public token or order id to be shown as slow website and take some seconds to show anything to users

Then you can apply middleware only to the routes you care about. And generally, middleware doesn't cause slowdowns, of course, it'll end up depending on what you do in the middleware.
