Import cookies

Import cookies from a signed-in website session to reuse it in your Bot. The website may still expire the session or require verification again.

​

Export cookies from your local browser

The following example uses the Cookie Editor Chrome extension.

​

Step 1: Install Cookie Editor

Search for Cookie Editor in the Chrome Web Store, open its extension page, and select Add to Chrome.

​

Step 2: Export the website’s cookies

Open the website in Chrome and sign in to the account your Bot will use. Open Cookie Editor, select the Export icon, and choose Netscape or JSON. Keep the exported file or copied data.

​

Step 3: Import into BrowserAct

Upload the file or paste the data using the steps below.

​

Import cookie data

Use Standard Browser and wait for all tasks in that browser to finish before importing.

1. Open the Bot’s Browser settings → Website login.
2. Select Import on the Import cookies card.
3. Paste the data into Cookie data, or select Upload cookie file to upload a .json, .txt, or .cookies file.
4. Correct any validation errors, then select Import cookies.

After a successful import, the card shows the cookie count and domains. BrowserAct saves the update for the Bot’s future runs.

​

Update saved cookies

When cookies stop working, export a fresh signed-in session and repeat the import steps. If an import fails, BrowserAct keeps your input and the previous saved state.

​

Supported formats and limits

Include the cookies’ domain and path information. A header string such as name=value; name2=value2 does not contain this context. Follow any validation message below the input to correct your data.
