I'm not sure this check should be here. See comment on the tests.

I also tried checking the django implementation (although I am not expert on these things). It looks like they basically never check the wether a cookie was there or shall be set:
if conf.CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS and not conf.CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS:
From what I read, I would suggest removing line 161 completely and repalce 165 with
if self.allow_all_origins and self.allow_credentails:
What do you think @Kludex ?

I checked some documentation and stack overflow again and I think the mirroring of the origin is not working properly in this middleware.
Mirroring the origin is required for various purposes if allow credentials is true, not only cookies (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25064158/how-to-make-get-cors-request-with-authorization-header & https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40663641/cors-with-client-https-certificates)
Basically, whenever credentails are used the the origin has to match the host of the client call otherwise the browser will block all things that require credentials such as cookies, authorization headers, certificates and so.
Django also solves it this way to basically always mirror the origin when allow credentials is true (https://github.com/adamchainz/django-cors-headers/blob/0c34907bca897da9934bfd7da40b38ae89da44d5/src/corsheaders/middleware.py#L115) since it otherwise will never work.
Unfortunately many tests will fail...
