How to save and load cookies using Python + Selenium WebDriver

Question

How can I save all cookies in Python\'s Selenium WebDriver to a txt-file, then load them later? The documentation doesn\'t say much of anything about the getCookies function

Answer 1

Just a slight modification for the code written by @Roel Van de Paar, as all credit goes to him. I am using this in Windows and it is working perfectly, both for setting and adding cookies:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=chrome-data")
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe',options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com')  # Already authenticated
time.sleep(30)
