Custom cookies can be useful in the following situations:

  • Extracting data when product pages or prices are only available after logging in to the supplier’s website

  • Changing the default currency or shipping address

How to set custom cookies

  1. Open the product page on the source website and configure all necessary settings (e.g., log in, select currency, set shipping address).

  2. Refresh the page to ensure settings are applied.

  3. Open your browser’s developer tools (usually by pressing F12).

  4. Go to the Network tab.

  5. Find and select the product URL in the left-hand panel.

  6. In the right-hand panel, select the Headers tab.

  7. Scroll down to the Request Headers section and locate the Cookie field.

  8. Copy the full cookie string.

  9. In the EI Settings, navigate to Extractor > Settings > Custom Cookies, and paste the cookie string for the appropriate domain.

Notes:

  • ⚠️ Not all websites support cookie-based data extraction.

  • ⏳ Cookies may expire over time. If extraction stops working, repeat the steps above to refresh your cookie settings.
