Where Are Scrapy Cookies Stored? A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Cookie Management in Scrapy

20 Replies, 2311 Views

Hey there! Scrapy cookies are stored in memory during the scraping session, so they’re not saved locally unless you set it up that way.

If you want to save them, you can use the `cookies.txt` format. There’s a middleware called `scrapy-cookies` that lets you save and load cookies from a file. It’s pretty straightforward to use.

Also, if you’re looking for more control, you can manually handle cookies in your spider using the `cookies` parameter in requests.

Check out the Scrapy docs for more info—it’s a lifesaver!
