Cookie types

Linken Sphere is compatible with two main cookie formats: Netscape (.txt) and JSON (.json).

Both formats can be used to import and export data manually or via API.

Netscape (.txt)

Classic format. One line - one cookie. Fields are separated by tabs.

invisible text for space

Netscape example:

.youtube.com TRUE / TRUE 1778164221 __Secure-YEC CgsyZlNpMVJNOEJrMCiAw8-

JSON (.json)

A modern format. Cookies are stored as an array of objects.

This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it if necessary.

Cookie validation during import

When importing cookies, Linken Sphere automatically checks their validity:

• Incorrect or duplicate entries are deleted.

• Only valid cookies are loaded into the system.

For example, if you imported 1,000 cookies and only 800 are displayed in the system, this is the result of automatic validation.
