# Chrome Extension

## How It Works

Some tasks require session cookies to function properly. If cookies are needed, this will be clearly stated in the task’s documentation. You’ll then be prompted to extract cookies using the official Chrome Extension.

## Getting Started

**Step 1: Install the Extension**\
Download and install the extension from our [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_wng723YlBDDM3LPzoP770zAOQV9ch6M/view?usp=sharing).

**Step 2: Visit the Site**\
Open the target site in your browser and ensure you're logged in.

**Step 3: Open the Extension**\
Click the Crawlbyte Extension icon in your toolbar. It will automatically detect the site and fetch available cookies.

**Step 4: Copy the Cookie String**\
Click the copy button to copy the full cookie string.

**Step 5: Use in Crawlbyte**\
Paste the copied string into the `cookie` field in your API request or inside the **Cookie String** input field in the task UI if you’re using the dashboard.
