# Introduction to Incogniton
Incogniton is an [anti-detect browser](https://docs.incogniton.com/key-concepts#anti-detect-browser) for managing multiple [browser profiles](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] with true isolation. It is designed for cases where standard browsers, incognito mode, VPNs, or proxy-only setups do not provide sufficient separation between online identities.
This page helps you understand what Incogniton does, what it enables in practice, and when it is the right tool for your use case.
### Why you should use Incogniton
Incogniton applies the principles of anti-detect browsing through practical, profile-based controls. Each browser profile is treated as a fully isolated, self-contained environment with its own data, and the platform is regularly updated to reflect changes in browser behaviour and adapt to tracking techniques.
At a high level, Incogniton allows you to:
* Work with up to 5,000 browser profiles that do not share data or identifiers
* Collaborate with up to 25 team members on profiles by sharing roles and permissions
* Persist cookies to maintain consistent browser behaviour across sessions
* Assign a dedicated proxy to each profile to control network identity
* Automate browser interactions using supported automation frameworks
These capabilities reduce cross-profile interference and make browser behaviour predictable.
### When you should use Incogniton
{% embed url="" %}
Use Incogniton when you need browser environments that remain separate, stable, and reusable over time. This typically applies when you are working independently or as part of an organisation and you:
* Manage multiple accounts that must remain isolated from one another
* Need browser state that stays consistent across sessions and devices
* Operate across different regions or network identities
* Run automated browser workflows that require reliable isolation
* Control access to browser profiles across individuals or teams
Incogniton is used across a wide range of professional workflows where true isolation of browser profiles is required. Common professional roles that rely on Incogniton include:
| Profession/role | Problem addressed by Incogniton |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Digital marketers | Managing multiple ad accounts using isolated browser profiles with consistent identity |
| E-commerce operators | Operating regional or multi-storefront accounts using separate browser profiles and storage |
| Social media managers and agencies | Managing multiple client profiles with isolated sessions and distinct browser fingerprints |
| Affiliate marketers | Coordinating multiple affiliate accounts using separate profiles and persisent state |
| Market and price comparison researchers | Running price research in isolated browser environments without shared cookies or history |
| Traffic arbitrage specialists | Managing segmented traffic sources using separate browser profiles and network identity |
| Crypto traders and analysts | Maintaining separate exchange accounts with stable, isolated browser environments |
| QA and testing teams | Running repeatable tests in controlled, isolated browser profiles |
| Automation developers | Building automated browser workflows using isolated profiles with real consistent fingerprint |
### Incogniton features for your workflows
When you sign up for Incogniton, you get access to this set of features designed to help you manage isolated browser profiles reliably, as an individual or a part of a team:
#### Proxy configuration per profile
Configure a dedicated proxy for each browser profile. You can use third-party proxy providers, select proxies from the Incogniton Proxy Shop, or use built-in unblocked proxies for lightweight tasks. Each profile maintains its own network identity.
#### Browser profile isolation
Create browser profiles that do not share cookies, local storage, or browser state. Profiles remain isolated and reusable across sessions without cross-profile leakage.
#### Cookie management
Import and export cookies per profile, or use built-in tools to generate browsing data when needed. This preserves session continuity while keeping profile data isolated.
#### Automation support
Access browser profiles programmatically using Python and TypeScript SDKs. Incogniton integrates with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium to support automated workflows with consistent, isolated browser state.
#### Team access and synchronization
Manage profiles across teams using role-based access control. Profile data and settings can be synchronized through encrypted cloud storage, allowing work across devices without breaking profile isolation.
#### Privacy and compliance
Incogniton is developed in the Netherlands and designed with data protection and transparency in mind. GDPR compliance and data-handling controls are built into the platform to support secure storage and access of browser data.
