What are browser cookies

Cookies are small data files created by websites and stored in your browser.

Cookies usually include:

  • Login session tokens

  • “Remember me” authentication

  • Language and region settings

  • Shopping cart data

  • Tracking identifiers

  • Anti-fraud trust signals

When working with multi-account setups, cookies often determine whether a website sees your session as trusted or suspicious.

How cookies work in Gologin

Each Gologin profile:

  • Has its own isolated cookie storage

  • Does not share cookies with other profiles

  • Syncs cookies to the cloud when the profile is properly closed

  • Restores cookies when the profile is launched again

This means every profile behaves like a separate physical device, as long as you use different proxies for each profile.

Proxy and Fingerprint consistency

Cookies alone do not guarantee account access.

For successful cookie import:

  • Use the same or geographically consistent proxy

  • Keep timezone aligned with IP

  • Avoid major fingerprint changes

  • Do not mix mobile cookies with desktop fingerprints

If the IP country or device fingerprint changes drastically, websites may invalidate the session.

Best practices

  • Always close profiles properly to sync cookies

  • Keep proxy geography consistent

  • Export cookies before making major changes

  • Test imports on non-critical accounts first

  • Avoid frequent cookie swapping on established accounts
