Why Cookies are not set in the browser but works in Postman?

Backend is Spring boots. I setup cookie there and it is working fine with postman.

@CrossOrigin(origins = "http://localhost:3000", allowCredentials = "true")

//Spring boots  (http://localhost:8080)
         Cookie cookie = new Cookie("access-token",token);
         cookie.setPath("/");
         cookie.setSecure(false);      
         response.addCookie(cookie);
          
         response.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");

Front End is ReactJS, I’ve used a POST method using Axios to get Login information. I am getting response, but cookies are not set.

//React JS (http://localhost:3000)
           axios({
                url: common.url + '/login',
                data: "userId=" + userid+ "&password=" + password,
                method: 'post',
                cache: false,
                contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache','withCredentials':'true'
                }
            }).then(function (result) {
                ;
               //Success Login
               
            })

Tried many things. No Luck

Got a fix finally.

axios.post(url+'/login', { json }, { withCredentials: true }).then(function (result) {
}

WithCredentials should be passed like this from front-end. in Backend code, along with the Crossorigin management, we need to add allowCredentials to true
