cache.put() throws a TypeError if the response has a Set-Cookie header, if the status is 206, or if the response carries a Vary header of the wildcard value. Requests with a method other than GET are rejected too. The cookie rule exists so a per-user cookie is never replayed to another visitor out of a shared cache.
If the origin always sets a cookie, clone the response, delete the header, and store the copy while returning the original to the current visitor. Alternatively have the origin send a cache control directive marking Set-Cookie as private, which tells Cloudflare to strip the header before storing. A second surprise is that Cache API operations are no-ops on a workers.dev subdomain, so caching only starts working once the Worker is served from a route on a zone.
