 ### Setup
 
-Set `ALLOWED_HOSTS='self',example1.org,example2.org` with your domain names and `AUTH_SAME_SITE=none`. The `'self'` value means "domain which Remark42 is installed on" so you don't need to write it twice.
+Set `ALLOWED_HOSTS="'self',example1.org,example2.org"` with your domain names and `AUTH_SAME_SITE=none`.

+The `'self'` in `ALLOWED_HOSTS` value means "domain where Remark42 is installed on" and needed if you want `remark42.example.com/web/` to work in case you want to test something with it.
 
 ### Technical details
 
-`ALLOWED_HOSTS` sets CSP [frame-ancestors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/frame-ancestors), which, once enabled, limits the domains where Remark42 would work. The default value is not set so that it would work on any domain.

-`AUTH_SAME_SITE` sets the [SAME_SITE](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite) attribute for authorisation cookies, allowing Remark42 either on the original domain and subdomains there (default value, not set which equals to `Lax`) or allows setting authorisation cookies on any domain where remark42 is shown (`None` setting).

 Here are all possible combinations of these two:
 
-- Default setup with unaltered variables: comments are shown on any domain, but the authorisation wouldn't work anywhere, but on the same domain Remark42 is installed on and subdomains of it.
-- `ALLOWED_HOSTS` set to a set of domains: comments are shown only on listed domains, authorisation wouldn't work anywhere, but on the same domain Remark42 is installed on and subdomains of it.
+- Default setup with unaltered variables: comments are shown on any domain, but the authorisation wouldn't work anywhere, except on the same domain Remark42 is installed on and subdomains of it.
+- `ALLOWED_HOSTS` set to a set of domains: comments are shown only on listed domains, and authorisation wouldn't work anywhere, expect on the same domain Remark42 is installed on and subdomains of it.
 - `AUTH_SAME_SITE` set to `None`: comments are shown on any domain. The authorisation would work anywhere.
 - `ALLOWED_HOSTS` set to a set of domains and `AUTH_SAME_SITE` set to `None`: comments are shown on listed domains. The authorisation would work on all of them.
