Is there a reason to prefer cookies over bearer tokens?

For what exactly? Authentication?

Vorteil Bearer token: kein CSRF token nötig
Vorteil cookies: auch normale non-javascript requests können authentifiziert werden, nach refresh noch da
Kannst bearer token natürlich auch persistent abspeichern. Oder n cookie zum token holen...

Tl;DR
Both are fine, but have slightly different use cases.
bearer token are more "hip", together with jwt.
