# Add cookies to profiles

> Cookies in JSON or Netscape cookies.txt format, into one profile from its menu or into many profiles as files named after them.

After this page your profiles have the cookies they need, and sign-ins on sites are kept.

## You need

- Cookies in JSON (an array, or an object with a `cookies` field) or Netscape cookies.txt format, the way other anti-detect browsers and extensions export them.

## Steps: into one profile

1. In the **Profiles** list, open the profile's menu and press **Add cookies…**.
2. Paste the cookies into the field, or press **Paste from clipboard** or **Choose file**.
3. Press **Add … cookies**.

## Steps: into many profiles at once

1. In the **Profiles** list, press **Import** and pick **Cookies into profiles**.
2. Press **Choose cookie files** or drag the files into the window. The file name is the profile name: `PL-warm-014.txt` goes into the profile PL-warm-014.
3. Press **Continue** and check the file and profile pairs.
4. Press **Add cookies to … profiles**.

The files are read on your computer; only the cookies go to the server. The cookies are added on the server, so the window can be hidden.

## Result

The cookies are written to the profile's browser at its next launch and saved with it. If the profile is open now, they are written once it is closed and launched again.

## If it didn't work

- **Nothing found**: the text has no cookies in JSON or Netscape format.
- **No profiles with these names**: name the file after the profile (`PL-warm-014.txt`) or type the exact profile name.
- **Cookies not added**: press **Edit and send again**.
