Why do I need to collect cookies?

If you're managing multiple accounts, cookies are your best friend. They help create a browsing history that looks real and natural, making websites less likely to flag you as suspicious. No cookies = higher chances of getting restricted. So, using cookies along with other stealthy strategies is key to avoiding detection.

Can websites see cookies from other websites?

Not really. Thanks to the same-origin policy, websites can’t peek into cookies from other domains. For example, BBC.com won’t see cookies from Etsy.com.

However, some tracking tools can collect data across multiple sites. For example:

• Facebook pixels (like those "Like" or "Share" buttons) drop a unique cookie on your browser – later, Facebook reads this cookie to track your activity across different websites
• Google Analytics does something similar through embedded tracking scripts

So, while individual sites can’t share cookies, big platforms with tracking tools can.

Does cookie age matter?

Yes! The older, the better (well, to an extent). If you're collecting cookies, let them sit for a few days before using them on a target website. This helps build a believable browsing history, making you look like a real user rather than a fresh bot.

Can I collect cookies without a proxy and use them later with a different IP?

It might seem like a good idea to collect cookies without a proxy and only use one when you create an account, but it’s not recommended. Cookies can store your location (like your IP address), so if you collect cookies in one place (e.g., Brazil) and then use them later with a different IP (e.g., in the UK), the website might notice the switch and flag it.
