Selenium Webdriver - Handling Cookies

Selenium Webdriver can be used to handle cookies. We can add a cookie, obtain a cookie with a particular name, and delete a cookie with the help of various methods in Selenium Webdriver.

Some of the methods on cookies are discussed below −

  • addCookie() − This method is used to add a cookie to the current session.

  • getCookieNamed() − This method is used to get a cookie with a particular name among all the created cookies. It yields none, if there is no cookie available with the name, passed as parameter.

  • getCookies() − This method is used to get all the cookies for the current session. If the current browser session had terminated, this method would return an error.

  • deleteCookieNamed() − This method is used to delete a cookie with a particular name, passed as a parameter to the method.

  • deleteCookie() − This method is used to delete a cookie with the cookie object, passed as a parameter to the method.

  • deleteAllCookies() − This method is used to delete all cookies from the current browser session.

Let us take an example where we would add and get the details of the cookie added for an existing browsing context.

Syntax

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Add cookie in key-value pairs
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));

// Get added cookie with name
Cookie c1 = driver.manage().getCookieNamed("C1");
System.out.println("Cookie details: " + c1);

Example

Code Implementation on AndGetCookie.java class file.

package org.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class AndGetCookie {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

      // Initiate the Webdriver
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

      // adding implicit wait of 15 secs
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

      // open browser session
      driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/practice/selenium_automation_practice.php");

      // Add cookie in key-value pairs
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));

      // Get added cookie with name
      Cookie c1 = driver.manage().getCookieNamed("C1");
      System.out.println("Cookie details: " + c1);

      // Closing browser
      driver.quit();
   }
}

Output

Cookie details: C1=VAL1; path=/; 
domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax

Process finished with exit code 0

In the above example, we had first added a cookie with name C1 and then obtained its details as a message in the console - Cookie details: C1=VAL1; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax.

Finally, the message Process finished with exit code 0 was received, signifying successful execution of the code.

Let us take an example where we would add multiple cookies and then get all the details of the cookie added for an existing browsing context.

Syntax

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Add two cookies in key-value pairs
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C2", "VAL2"));

// get every cookie details
Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

Example

Code Implementation on AndGetCookies.java class file.

package org.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class AndGetCookies {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

      // Initiate the Webdriver
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

      // adding implicit wait of 15 secs
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

      // open browser session
      driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/practice/selenium_automation_practice.php");

      // Add two cookies in key-value pairs
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C2", "VAL2"));

      // get every cookie details
      Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

      // Closing browser
      driver.quit();
   }
}

Output

Cookie details are: [C1=VAL1; path=/;
 domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax, C2=VAL2; path=/; 
domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax]

Process finished with exit code 0

In the above example, we had first added multiple cookies with names C1 and C2 and then obtained its details as a message in the console - Cookie details are: [C1=VAL1; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax, C2=VAL2; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax].

Finally, the message Process finished with exit code 0 was received, signifying successful execution of the code.

Let us take an example where we would add multiple cookies and delete a cookie(with cookie name and object) and then get all the details of the cookie added for an existing browsing context.

Syntax

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Add three cookies in key-value pairs
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
Cookie m = new Cookie("C2", "VAL2");
driver.manage().addCookie(m);
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C3", "VAL3"));

// get every cookie details
Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

// delete a cookie with its name
driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("C3");

// get every cookie details after deleting cookie C3
Set<Cookie> c1 = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting C3 cookie are: " + c1);

// delete a cookie with cookie object
driver.manage().deleteCookie(m);

// get every cookie details after deleting cookie C2
Set<Cookie> c2 = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting C2 cookie are: " + c2);

Example

Code Implementation on AndDeleteCookies.java class file.

package org.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class AndDeleteCookies {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

      // Initiate the Webdriver
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

      // adding implicit wait of 15 secs
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

      // open browser session
      driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/practice/selenium_automation_practice.php");

      // Add three cookies in key-value pairs
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
      Cookie m = new Cookie("C2", "VAL2");
      driver.manage().addCookie(m);
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C3", "VAL3"));

      // get every cookie details
      Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

      // delete a cookie with its name
      driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("C3");

      // get every cookie details after deleting cookie C3
      Set<Cookie> c1 = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting C3 cookie are: " + c1);

      // delete a cookie with cookie object
      driver.manage().deleteCookie(m);

      // get every cookie details after deleting cookie C2
      Set<Cookie> c2 = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting C2 cookie are: " + c2);

      // Closing browser
      driver.quit();
   }
}

Output

Cookie details are: [C3=VAL3; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; 
   sameSite=Lax, C1=VAL1; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; 
   sameSite=Lax, C2=VAL2; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax]
Cookie details after deleting C3 cookie are: 
   [C1=VAL1; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax, C2=VAL2; path=/;
   domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax]
Cookie details after deleting C2 cookie are: [C1=VAL1; path=/; 
   domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax]

Process finished with exit code 0

In the above example, we had first added three cookies with names C1, C2, and C3. Then, deleted the cookies C3, and C2 with cookie name and object and retrieved the cookie details after deletion.

Finally, the message Process finished with exit code 0 was received, signifying successful execution of the code.

Let us take an example where we would add multiple cookies and then delete all the cookies added for an existing browsing context.

Syntax

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

// Add two cookies in key-value pairs
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C3", "VAL3"));

// get every cookie details
Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

// delete a cookie with its name
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

// get every cookie details after deleting cookie C2
Set<Cookie> c2 = driver.manage().getCookies();
System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting all cookies: " + c2);

Example

Code Implementation on AndDeleteAllCookies.java class file.

package org.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class AndDeleteAllCookies {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

      // Initiate the Webdriver
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

      // adding implicit wait of 15 secs
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

      // open browser session  
	  driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/selenium/practice/selenium_automation_practice.php");
      
      // Add two cookies in key-value pairs
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C1", "VAL1"));
      driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("C3", "VAL3"));

      // get every cookie details
      Set<Cookie> c = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details are: " + c);

      // delete a cookie with its name
      driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

      // get every cookie details after deleting cookie C2
      Set<Cookie> c2 = driver.manage().getCookies();
      System.out.println("Cookie details after deleting all cookies: " + c2);

      // Closing browser
      driver.quit();
   }
}

Output

Cookie details are: [C3=VAL3; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax, 
   C1=VAL1; path=/; domain=www.tutorialspoint.com;secure;; sameSite=Lax]
Cookie details after deleting all cookies: []

Process finished with exit code 0

In the above example, we had first added two cookies with names C1, and C2. Then, we had deleted all the cookies.

Finally, the message Process finished with exit code 0 was received, signifying successful execution of the code.
