Makes sense. Although it might get a bit complicated when put into perspective
of the CORS point of view.

So from the browser perspective, for requests that are NOT "credentialed" the
browser will not send cookies that it has stored for that domain/path, meaning
that the API will not receive them and user is treated as logged-out user.

So it looks like this looks good for us on both sides (we can't cache
user-specific stuff, user-specific stuff should be in a "credentialed request",
CORS specification / browsers make it impossible for non "credentialed
requests" to be user specific anyway.
