How to enable cookies in Chromedriver with Webdriver?

Question

I am trying to use Selenium's Chromedriver to log in to a website which has cookies enabled. I got a message from the server that the browser has cookies disabled. How can I enable cookies in Chromedriver?

Answer 1

ChromeDriver has cookie be enabled by default.

Please try the following steps:

1. Use FirefoxDriver/IEDriver, see what the site says.

2. Manually open a Chrome browser, see what the site says.

3. Try open whatismybrowser.com with ChromeDriver opened browser, see what it tells you.

If your site says cookie not enabled for FirefoxDriver/IEDriver/Manually opened Chrome, and whatismybrowser.com says your ChromeDriver opened browser has cookie enabled, then clearly something is wrong with your site, please try debug your site.
