Cookies

Maskifi lets you import cookies into a stopped profile and export cookies from any profile (running or stopped) to a JSON file.

Import cookies

You can import cookies into a stopped profile without opening the browser first.

To import:

1. In the Profiles list, open the three-dot row menu for the profile.
2. Click Import cookies.
3. The cookie import dialog opens. Choose how to provide the cookies:
   • File — drag a cookie file into the drop zone, or click to pick one (max 1 MB).
   • Text — paste cookie data directly into the text area.
4. Check the I confirm I want to overwrite existing cookies checkbox. This is required to prevent accidental data loss.
5. Click Import.

You cannot import cookies into a running profile. The option is disabled for active profiles.

Supported formats

The app accepts two formats:

JSON array — a standard browser cookie export, for example from a cookie-manager extension.

Netscape cookies.txt — the format used by many cookie-export tools.

If the file cannot be read, an error message is shown.

Export cookies

Cookie export saves the profile's cookies as a JSON file to your chosen location.

To export:

1. Open the three-dot row menu for the profile.
2. Click Export cookies.

A save dialog appears to choose where to save the file. A success or error notification confirms the result.

Initial cookies (at profile creation)

You can also supply cookies when creating a profile. The Initial cookies field in the create/edit form accepts a cookie file or pasted cookie data. These cookies are loaded into the profile on first use.

See Creating & editing for details.
