Google Analytics start always new session for every page visited

After I moved my website to a new server and activated HTTPS the GA data went crazy:

bounce rate 100% almost.

I discovered with Google Tag Assistant Extension that every link I navigate in the website, hit starts a New Session / Session Start.

I found this error:

This hit starts a new session, most likely because the client ID changed. This is caused by an improper tracking code implementation.

Meaning: Google Tag Assistant Recordings noticed a new session being started by the hit, possibly because the hit is coming from a new domain.

Action: Be sure you're implementing proper cross-domain tracking on your sites.

The website is a single domain, and I haven't changed anything in the default code.

What can it be? Thanks for help

[UPDATED ANSWER]

I checked on your site recovered from the report you attached in the comment.

The reported problem (this hit starts a new session...) is 100% due to the cookie bar. Until you have accepted the cookies, the _ga cookie value is not written. So if, for example, you arrive on the website and then refresh the page without accepting, you will be considered 2 users and 2 sessions.

In any case, I have seen that the clientId is maintained when an user accept the cookie policy, so the problem for those who arrive on the site, accept cookies and continue, should not exist.
