Imagine browsing the web without having to repeatedly log in, with your favorite websites remembering your preferences, and enjoying a fully personalized online experience. Sounds amazing, right? We owe this convenience to cookies.
In this guide, we’ll explain what cookies are, how to use cookie login, and how DICloak can help. Whether you’re a developer looking to improve website experiences or a user concerned about online privacy, you’ll find practical tips for managing cookies and protecting your privacy.
A cookie is a small text file created by a website and stored on a user’s computer or mobile device. It stores user preferences, login information, shopping cart contents, and other data to track or remember user behavior. When a user visits a website, the server may request to store cookies in the browser.
If accepted, the browser saves the information and sends it back on the next visit. This way, the server can recognize and respond to the user’s preferences or previous behavior.
Cookies also store information like login details. When you log in and choose to stay signed in, a cookie saves an encrypted version of your info. Next time, you won’t need to log in—the website does it automatically.
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browser session. They are deleted when the user ends the session (e.g., logs out or closes the browser). Once session cookies disappear, you must log in again.
Persistent Cookies
Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on the user’s device until they reach their expiration date. For example, when you choose the “Remember Me” option to log in to a social media platform, persistent cookies save your credentials so you don’t have to log in again on future visits.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are created by a third party other than the original site visited and are usually used to track users’ behavior across multiple websites.
While many websites can function normally without third-party cookies, some browsers have started phasing them out. For example, Google plans to deprecate them in Chrome by 2024.
Authentication Cookies
These cookies are created when you log into an account to confirm that you have successfully logged in. They allow the website to remember your logged-in status without requiring you to enter your username and password every time.
Zombie Cookies
These cookies create their own backups outside the regular cookie storage area of the browser, allowing them to reappear even if users delete the cookies. Zombie cookies are sometimes used for unethical ad tracking and can be exploited by attackers to re-establish user tracking profiles.
Tracking Cookies
Tracking cookies collects information about you, such as which websites you have visited and your activities on those websites. For example, a shopping website might use tracking cookies to analyze which product categories you are most interested in and recommend relevant products accordingly.
Cookie login records and saves HTTP cookies shared between a website and a user’s browser. These small data files contain information about a user’s actions, such as login details and session IDs.
Here’s what cookies do for a personalized experience:
In DICloak, you can start cookie login in two ways: single profile creation and batch profile creation.
2. Fill in the Cookie field.
3. Open the browser profile with pre-set cookies.
2. Download the import template.
3. Fill out the Cookie column in the template for each profile.
4. Upload the template back to DICloak.
You can also copy and paste cookies directly from Excel. Open browser profiles with pre-set cookies, and you’ll be logged in automatically.
Cookies can impact user privacy and unintentionally link accounts. Managing cookies is essential for online security. Clearing browser cookies is an easy way to reduce these risks. If you manage multiple accounts, regularly clearing cookies helps keep accounts separate and secure.
2. Scroll to Privacy and Security → Clear Browsing Data.
3. Choose Basic or Advanced, select a time range, and check Cookies and other site data.
4. Click Delete Data.
Afterward, some websites may require you to log in again, and some settings may be lost.
2. Click Customize → choose Cookie → Confirm.
Deleted cookies cannot be recovered. Backup important data before clearing.
Instead of manually clearing browser cookies, an anti-detect browser like DICloak can manage cookies for multiple accounts, protecting privacy and saving time.
With support for HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies, DICloak lets you assign a different proxy to every account. This ensures separate IP addresses, enables regional operations, and further reduces the chance of account linkage or bans.
These settings help avoid cookie linking issues while managing multiple accounts efficiently.
Cookies are small data files that enhance online experiences by providing convenience and personalization. Understanding different types—session, persistent, tracking, authentication, and zombie cookies—helps you use the web more effectively.
DICloak helps you manage multiple accounts securely and maintain privacy. Whether you want a better user experience or to protect your online privacy, smart cookie management is essential. If you need more help, visit the DICloak Help Center. Enjoy a personalized web experience with cookie login!
