+Loading Cookies
+---------------
+
+Heritrix can be configured to load a set of cookies from a file. This can be used for example to crawl a website behind
+a login form by manually logging in through the browser and then copying the session cookie.
+
+To enable loading of cookies set the cookiesLoadFile property of the BdbCookieStore bean to a ConfigFile:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <bean id="cookieStore" class="org.archive.modules.fetcher.BdbCookieStore">
+      <property name="cookiesLoadFile">
+         <bean class="org.archive.spring.ConfigFile">
+           <property name="path" value="cookies.txt" />
+         </bean>
+      </property>
+    </bean>
+
+The cookies.txt should be in the 7-field tab-separated Netscape cookie file format. An entry might look like::
+
+    www.example.org FALSE / FALSE 1311699995 sessionid 60ddb868550a
