For a fast, secure, and successful login to accounts using cookies, you need to follow a few simple steps by adhering to our detailed guide.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. Think of them as tiny "memos" for the website.
Why are they needed?
- Cookies perform several useful functions:
Remembering you: They help the website "recognize" you on your next visit. For example, if you added items to an online store shopping cart, cookies will help the site remember them even if you close the tab and return later. - Saving settings: Cookies store your preferences, such as the selected website language, theme (light/dark), or font size.
Login convenience: If you checked the "Remember me" box when logging into a website, cookies will save your login details so you don't have to enter them every time.
Using an example, let's look at logging into a Facebook account via cookies in a standard Google Chrome browser.
For a successful login, we will need a few things:
- A browser extension, either: EditThisCookie | Cookie Editor
- JSON format cookies that you received along with the account data.
Install the extension if you haven't installed it previously.
Go to the facebook.com website.
Copy the cookies you received. Cookies look like this: [{ various data inside }] copy everything, including the brackets. Look closely to ensure you don't capture any extra characters or spaces.
Click on the extension, for example, "EditThisCookie", then click on 
"Import" and paste our Facebook account JSON cookies into the import field, then "save changes" by clicking on 
Refresh the page.
That's it, we have successfully logged into the Facebook account using JSON Cookies.
P.S. This method is identical for logging into other accounts using cookies, just on their respective websites.
