## Class: Cookies
> Query and modify a session's cookies.
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)<br />
_This class is not exported from the `'electron'` module. It is only available as a return value of other methods in the Electron API._
Instances of the `Cookies` class are accessed by using `cookies` property of
a `Session`.
For example:
```js
const { session } = require('electron')
// Query all cookies.
session.defaultSession.cookies.get({})
.then((cookies) => {
console.log(cookies)
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
})
// Query all cookies associated with a specific url.
session.defaultSession.cookies.get({ url: 'https://www.github.com' })
.then((cookies) => {
console.log(cookies)
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
})
// Set a cookie with the given cookie data;
// may overwrite equivalent cookies if they exist.
const cookie = { url: 'https://www.github.com', name: 'dummy_name', value: 'dummy' }
session.defaultSession.cookies.set(cookie)
.then(() => {
// success
}, (error) => {
console.error(error)
})
```
### Instance Events
The following events are available on instances of `Cookies`:
#### Event: 'changed'
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `cookie` [Cookie](structures/cookie.md) - The cookie that was changed.
* `cause` string - The cause of the change with one of the following values:
* `explicit` - The cookie was changed directly by a consumer's action.
* `overwrite` - The cookie was automatically removed due to an insert
operation that overwrote it.
* `expired` - The cookie was automatically removed as it expired.
* `evicted` - The cookie was automatically evicted during garbage collection.
* `expired-overwrite` - The cookie was overwritten with an already-expired
expiration date.
* `removed` boolean - `true` if the cookie was removed, `false` otherwise.
Emitted when a cookie is changed because it was added, edited, removed, or
expired.
### Instance Methods
The following methods are available on instances of `Cookies`:
#### `cookies.get(filter)`
* `filter` Object
* `url` string (optional) - Retrieves cookies which are associated with
`url`. Empty implies retrieving cookies of all URLs.
* `name` string (optional) - Filters cookies by name.
* `domain` string (optional) - Retrieves cookies whose domains match or are
subdomains of `domains`.
* `path` string (optional) - Retrieves cookies whose path matches `path`.
* `secure` boolean (optional) - Filters cookies by their Secure property.
* `session` boolean (optional) - Filters out session or persistent cookies.
* `httpOnly` boolean (optional) - Filters cookies by httpOnly.
Returns `Promise<Cookie[]>` - A promise which resolves an array of cookie objects.
Sends a request to get all cookies matching `filter`, and resolves a promise with
the response.
#### `cookies.set(details)`
* `details` Object
* `url` string - The URL to associate the cookie with. The promise will be rejected if the URL is invalid.
* `name` string (optional) - The name of the cookie. Empty by default if omitted.
* `value` string (optional) - The value of the cookie. Empty by default if omitted.

Returns `Promise<void>` - A promise which resolves when the cookie has been set
Sets a cookie with `details`.
#### `cookies.remove(url, name)`
* `url` string - The URL associated with the cookie.
* `name` string - The name of cookie to remove.
Returns `Promise<void>` - A promise which resolves when the cookie has been removed
