Cookies
You can view cookies found during a crawl of any highlighted URL providing your crawl is set to extract Cookies. You’re able to select single or multiple URLs in the top window which populates the lower window pane.
To enable cookie extraction, click ‘Configuration > Spider > Extraction > Cookies’. JavaScript rendering mode will need to be used to get an accurate view of cookies which are loaded on the page using JavaScript or pixel image tags.
The columns listed in the Cookies tab include:
- Cookie Type – Where the cookie was discovered. Either over ‘HTTP’, or ‘On-Page’ – if it was via JavaScript or a pixel tag.
- Cookie Name – The name of the cookie.
- Cookie Value – The cookie value.
- Domain – The domain that issued the cookie, either first or third party.
- Expiration Time – The cookie expiry time.
- Secure – Details of the cookie secure attribute.
- HttpOnly – Details of the cookie HttpOnly attribute.
- Address – The URL the cookie was found on.
Cookies can be bulk exported via ‘Bulk Export > Web > All Cookies’ and an aggregated report can be exported via ‘Reports > Cookies > Cookie Summary’.
Please note, when you choose to store cookies, the auto exclusion performed by the SEO Spider for Google Analytics tracking tags is disabled to provide an accurate view of all cookies issued.
This means it will affect your analytics reporting, unless you choose to exclude any tracking scripts from firing by using the exclude configuration (‘Config > Exclude’) or filter out the ‘Screaming Frog SEO Spider’ user-agent similar to excluding PSI.
