# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
#
# This file holds the login cookies yt-dlp uses to download from sites that
# require auth (X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok). It is gitignored on
# purpose — it contains live session tokens. NEVER commit the real cookies.txt.
#
# How to populate it:
#   1. Log into the site in your browser (for YouTube, use an incognito window
#      and open youtube.com/robots.txt before exporting, then close the window
#      WITHOUT signing out — Google rotates cookies the moment an extension
#      reads them in a normal window).
#   2. Export cookies with a "Get cookies.txt" style browser extension.
#   3. Save them here as cookies.txt (tab-separated, Netscape format).
#
# Example line shape (domain, includeSubdomains, path, secure, expiry, name, value):
# .x.com	TRUE	/	TRUE	1805251225	auth_token	REDACTED
