Cookie to log in with Jsoup?

Question

For a project I\'m trying to get data from a website only acessible when you\'re logged in from the site Goodreads.com. I\'m new to Jsoup, since I\'m using it only for this

You can log in with this code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    Connection.Response execute = Jsoup
            .connect("https://www.goodreads.com/")
            .method(Connection.Method.GET).execute();

    Element sign_in = execute.parse().getElementById("sign_in");
    String authenticityToken = sign_in.select("input[name=authenticity_token]").first().val();
    String n = sign_in.select("input[name=n]").first().val();

    Document document = Jsoup.connect("https://www.goodreads.com/user/sign_in")
            .data("cookieexists", "✓")
            .data("authenticity_token", authenticityToken)
            .data("user[email]", "user@email.com")
            .data("user[password]", "password")
            .data("remember_me", "on")
            .data("n", n)
            .cookies(execute.cookies())
            .post();

}
