CookieData is Puppeteer’s cookie object for the browser-level cookies API. It supplies a cookie’s name and value, scope, lifetime, security flags, and optional metadata. Use a BrowserContext when you need to control which isolated browser session receives the cookie; Browser cookie methods are shortcuts for the default context. This guide follows the Puppeteer 25.12.0 CookieData reference.

CookieData fields

In the browser-level API, browser.setCookie(...cookies) accepts one or more CookieData objects. The fields describe the cookie to set:

Field Meaning Notes
name Cookie name. Provided along with value.
value Cookie value. Provided along with name.
domain Domain scope for the cookie. Use the domain appropriate to the site that will receive it.
path Path scope for the cookie. Restricts which paths the cookie applies to.
expires Optional expiration date. If omitted, Puppeteer’s reference describes the cookie as a session cookie.
httpOnly Optional boolean for the HttpOnly property. When enabled, client-side scripts cannot access the cookie through the usual document cookie interface.
secure Optional boolean for the Secure property. Indicates the cookie is restricted to secure connections.
sameSite Optional CookieSameSite value. See Puppeteer’s reference for accepted values; browser behavior also depends on cookie rules.
partitionKey Optional partition key for a partitioned cookie. Puppeteer documents browser-specific matching: Chrome matches the top-level site where the cookie is available; Firefox matches the source origin in the partition key.
priority Optional cookie priority. Documented as supported only in Chrome.
sourceScheme Optional source scheme metadata. Documented as supported only in Chrome.

Optional fields can be left out when they are not needed. For browser-specific fields, check the target browser and Puppeteer version rather than assuming identical behavior across engines.

CookieData vs. CookieParam

These types belong to different API levels, so do not treat them as interchangeable. CookieData is used with the browser-level cookies API. CookieParam is the page-level cookie-setting parameter and has an optional url field.

Type API level URL behavior
CookieData Browser-level cookies API, such as browser.setCookie(...cookies). No url field is listed in its reference.
CookieParam Page-level cookie-setting API. The optional url can affect the created cookie’s default domain, path, and source scheme.

Choose the parameter type based on the API you call. For exact signatures and version-specific details, consult Puppeteer’s CookieParam reference.

Set and inspect a cookie

This example creates an isolated browser context, sets a cookie there, reads the context’s cookies, and closes the browser. Replace the example domain and cookie value with values appropriate to your application.

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const context = await browser.createBrowserContext();

try {
  await context.setCookie({
    name: 'session_hint',
    value: 'example-value',
    domain: 'example.com',
    path: '/',
    secure: true,
    httpOnly: true,
    sameSite: 'Lax',
  });

  const cookies = await context.cookies();
  console.log(cookies);
} finally {
  await context.close();
  await browser.close();
}

The example uses a context deliberately: its cookie state is separate from other browser contexts. Puppeteer’s cookie guide documents getting, setting, and deleting cookies through browser or context methods; the browser-level setCookie accepts one or more CookieData objects. See the Puppeteer cookie guide.

Choose the right browser context

A BrowserContext represents an individual user context. Its storage, including cookies and local storage, is isolated from other contexts.

  • Use context.setCookie(...cookies) and context.cookies() when the cookie should belong to a specific context.
  • Use browser.setCookie(...cookies) or browser.cookies() only when the default context is the intended owner. These browser methods are convenience shortcuts for the default context.
  • Keep setup, navigation, cookie inspection, and deletion within the same context when you are testing an independent session.

Context choice is not just an organizational detail: setting a cookie in one context does not populate another context’s isolated storage.

Delete cookies

Use the matching browser or context cookie API to remove cookies. For an isolated session, delete through the same context that owns the cookie; browser convenience methods address the default context. Puppeteer’s cookie guide includes deletion examples and method details.

Compatibility and version notes

  • The field definitions above are from the Puppeteer 25.12.0 CookieData API reference. Check the documentation version that matches the package installed in your project before relying on signatures.
  • partitionKey has browser-specific semantics in Puppeteer’s documentation: Chrome’s key matching is described in terms of the top-level site, while Firefox’s is described in terms of the source origin.
  • priority and sourceScheme are documented as Chrome-only. Do not depend on them for cross-browser behavior without verifying support.
  • This field guide does not cover every browser-standard rule for SameSite or cross-browser cookie handling. Consult browser or standards documentation if your application depends on those details.

Troubleshooting cookie setup

The cookie is not visible after setting it

Check that you read cookies from the same context where you set them. A cookie set through a named context will not appear in the default context’s isolated storage.

The cookie does not apply to the target page

Review its domain and path scope. If using the page-level CookieParam API, an explicit url can influence default domain, path, and source scheme; CookieData is the browser-level type and does not list that field.

An optional field behaves differently across browsers

Verify support and semantics for the target browser. Puppeteer specifically calls out browser-dependent behavior for partitionKey and Chrome-only support for priority and sourceScheme.

The cookie expires sooner than expected

Confirm that the intended expiration is supplied. Puppeteer’s CookieData reference says an omitted expires makes the cookie a session cookie.
