# Exporting cookies

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeZvCoT92x8>" %}

If a profile already has a solid browsing history, you can export its cookies and import them into another profile instead of running the [Cookie Collector](/cookie-management/cookie-collector.md) from scratch. Exporting a browser profile's cookies is particulary useful when setting up new profiles that need to hit the ground running, or backing up cookie data before making changes to a profile.

To import exported cookies into a different profile, see [Import cookies](/cookie-management/importing-cookies.md).
