CookieRobot makes your profiles look more legit by automatically collecting cookies from your chosen websites – no manual crawling needed! In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use it to streamline the process.

Already familiar with automation or completed some steps? Use the table of contents on the right to jump straight to what you need. Let’s go!

Python code application

In this example, settings are configured in the payload object, inside the run_script() function:

• CookieRobot will be running through the file cookie_robot.py
• The profile IDs worked are set to ced16576-a67b-4ae5-8459-c07991d50f27 and ec0cf95f-b199-4b1c-b394-af1e01ac9c09
• Both profiles will run in non-headless mode
• The websites are Yahoo.com and Amazon.com, and they will be visited in a random order
• Since fractionMode is set to 1, 100% of the websites listed will be visited
• CookieRobot will automatically accept cookie consent notices if they appear
