Cookie Collector

How to use the Incogniton Cookie Collector (or Cookie Robot)

Websites use cookies to build a picture of a browser's history. A profile with no cookies looks new, and a new browser logging into an established account is a common detection signal. The Cookie Collector (or Cookie Robot) builds that history for you by visiting a list of websites in the background and accumulating cookies the same way a real browser would.

How to use the Cookie Collector

Follow these steps to set up and run the Cookie Collector on a browser profile:

1

Start the Cookie Collector

Click on the bullet icon on the right side of a browser profile and navigate to Browser Management > Start Cookie Collector. The Cookie Collector will pop up.

2

Add target URLs

Populate the URL list by selecting Load default list, entering URLs manually, or loading a previously saved set. Enter one URL per line (as shown in the image). If you plan to use the same URLs for multiple profiles, select the Save set option, that way you can easily load them via Load set when needed.

URLs entered in the Cookie Collector must follow the https://nameofwebsite.com format. The https:// prefix is particularly important, else the Cookie collector won't work.

3

Start collecting

Click the Start collecting button and the Cookie Collector will start collecting cookies.

The cookies are saved to the profile as soon as the session ends. A single session is enough for basic testing. For live accounts, run the collector across multiple sessions before you start, platforms look at the age and spread of cookie history, not just its presence.
