Hey everyone!
So, I’m just starting out with Scrapy and trying to figure out how cookies work in it. I’ve been searching around but can’t seem to find a clear answer—where are scrapy cookies stored?
Like, does Scrapy save them somewhere locally, or are they just handled in memory during the scraping session? I’m kinda confused because I’ve seen some people mention stuff about cookies.txt files, but idk if that’s even related.
Also, if they *are* stored somewhere, can I access or modify them easily? Or is it all automatic?
Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance 
(Also, sorry if this is a noob question lol, still getting the hang of this stuff!)
Hey! So, where are scrapy cookies stored? They’re actually handled in memory by default during the scraping session. Scrapy doesn’t save them locally unless you explicitly configure it to do so.
If you want to save cookies to a file, you can use the `cookies.txt` format. There’s a middleware called `scrapy-cookies` that can help with this. It’s super handy if you need to reuse cookies across sessions.
Check out the Scrapy docs for more details on middleware and cookie handling. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but totally worth it!
Yo! Scrapy cookies are stored in memory by default, so they’re gone once your session ends. If you wanna save them, you can use the `cookies.txt` file method.
There’s a cool tool called `cookies.txt` exporter that can help you dump cookies into a file. It’s not built into Scrapy, but it’s easy to set up.
Also, if you’re looking to modify cookies, you can do it in the `start_requests` method or by using middleware. Hope that helps!
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.

Wow, thanks everyone for the detailed replies! I didn’t realize where are scrapy cookies stored was such a common question lol. I’ll definitely check out the `scrapy-cookies` middleware and the `cookies.txt` method.
Quick follow-up though—if I save cookies to a file, can I reuse them in a different spider? Or do I need to set it up again for each one?
Also, big thanks for pointing me to the Scrapy docs. I’ll dive into those tonight. You guys are awesome!
