You can probably get away with just using the sharedHTTPCookieStorage for NSHTTPCookieStorage, and then use setCookies:forURL:mainDocumentURL: or the single setCookie: - the latter might be better for your needs.

If this doesn't work you might need to setup the NSURLSessionConfiguration and set the NSHTTPCookieStorage

The docs don't state it, but the defaultSessionConfiguration might use the shared store anyway.

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
[[session dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
    NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResp = (NSHTTPURLResponse*) response;

    NSArray *cookies = [NSHTTPCookie cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields:[response allHeaderFields] forURL:[response URL]];
    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookies:cookies forURL:[response URL] mainDocumentURL:nil];

    NSLog(@"sttaus code %i", httpResp.statusCode);
    if (error) {
        [self.delegate signinWithError:error];
    }
    else {
        [self.delegate signinWithJson:data];
    }
}] resume];

I researched a lot but found one in a website of another language. The solution is to add an empty event handler for session start and end:

protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
