How to Add Cookie with Selenium

Using Selenium we can add the cookie to the domain. To add a cookie, we should use a method named “addCookie(cookie)”

Cookie Parameters

Key	Description
name	Cookie identifier (required)
value	Cookie data (required)
domain	Associated domain
path	URL path (default: ‘/’)
secure	HTTPS-only flag
expiry	Expiration timestamp

 

addCookie() Method

Method Name: addCookie(Cookie cookie)
Syntax:driver.manage().addCookie(arg0);

Purpose: To add a specific cookie into cookies. If the cookie’s domain name is left blank, it is assumed that the cookie is meant for the domain of the current document.

Parameters: cookie – The name and value of the cookie to be added.

Example

@Test
 public void addCookie()
 {
 driver= new FirefoxDriver();
 String URL=<span class="hljs-string">"</span><span class="hljs-string">https://www.example.com/"</span>;
 driver.navigate().to(URL);
                //we should pass name and value for cookie as parameters
                // In this example we are passing, name=mycookie and value=123456789123
 Cookie name = new Cookie(<span class="hljs-string">"mycookie"</span>, <span class="hljs-string">"cookiedata"</span>);
 driver.manage().addCookie(name);
 
                // After adding the cookie we will check that by displaying all the cookies.
 Set<Cookie> cookiesList =  driver.manage().getCookies();
 for(Cookie cookie :cookiesList) {
     System.out.println(cookie);
 }
 }

The output looks like below. We can see the added cookie along with the other cookies of the domain.
