# session
The `session` object is a property of [`webContents`](web-contents.md) which is a property of [`BrowserWindow`](browser-window.md). You can access it through an instance of `BrowserWindow`. For example:
```javascript
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
var win = new BroswerWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });
win.loadUrl("http://github.com");
var session = win.webContents.session
```
## Methods
The `session` object has the following methods:
### session.cookies
The `cookies` gives you ability to query and modify cookies, an example is:
```javascript
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
var win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });
win.loadUrl('https://github.com');
win.webContents.on('did-finish-load', function() {
// Query all cookies.
win.webContents.session.cookies.get({}, function(error, cookies) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(cookies);
});
// Query all cookies that are associated with a specific url.
win.webContents.session.cookies.get({ url : "http://www.github.com" },
function(error, cookies) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(cookies);
});
// Set a cookie with the given cookie data;
// may overwrite equivalent cookies if they exist.
win.webContents.session.cookies.set(
{ url : "http://www.github.com", name : "dummy_name", value : "dummy"},
function(error, cookies) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(cookies);
});
});
```

```
config = scheme-proxies[";"<scheme-proxies>]
scheme-proxies = [<url-scheme>"="]<proxy-uri-list>
url-scheme = "http" | "https" | "ftp" | "socks"
proxy-uri-list = <proxy-uri>[","<proxy-uri-list>]
proxy-uri = [<proxy-scheme>"://"]<proxy-host>[":"<proxy-port>]
For example:
"http=foopy:80;ftp=foopy2" -- use HTTP proxy "foopy:80" for http://
URLs, and HTTP proxy "foopy2:80" for
ftp:// URLs.
"foopy:80" -- use HTTP proxy "foopy:80" for all URLs.
"foopy:80,bar,direct://" -- use HTTP proxy "foopy:80" for all URLs,
