Hey! Scrapy cookies are stored in memory by default, so they’re not saved locally unless you configure it to do so.
If you want to save them, you can use the `cookies.txt` format. There’s a middleware called `scrapy-cookies` that can help you save and load cookies from a file.
Also, if you’re looking to modify cookies, you can do it in the `start_requests` method or by using middleware.
Check out the Scrapy docs for more info—it’s a lifesaver!
