Custom Cookies

If you would like to send custom cookies to the target website, simply add them as parameters to the request or as the “Wsa-Cookie” header (see Custom-Headers section).

In the right-side box, you will find an example request used to scrape the URL https://httpbin.org/cookies, which will mirror the cookies sent.
