Where does Chrome store its cookie file on a unix system?
Go to the Network tab. There you should see a Cookies option. It will show you the list of cookies sent/returned for that very specific request. In most cases, you are interested in the cookies of the GET used to load the HTML page.
For Google Chrome the default location for cookies is %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\cookies.
Cookies are small, usually randomly encoded, text files that help your browser navigate through a particular website. A cookie file is generated by the site you're browsing and is accepted and processed by your computer's browser software. Once accepted, the cookie file is stored in your browser's folder or subfolder.
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies
fwiw, that file is a SqLite database...
$ file ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies: SQLite 3.x database
$ sqlite -version
2.8.17
...good luck...
