Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cookie string?

A cookie string is a semicolon-separated list of key-value pairs (e.g., key=value; key2=value2). It's the raw format sent in the HTTP Cookie header. Some characters are URL-encoded to ensure safe transmission.

Why are some cookie values encoded?

Browsers automatically URL-encode special characters (like @, {, }, spaces) in cookie values. Our parser decodes them into readable format using decodeURIComponent().

How accurate is the size calculation?

The Size column shows the byte length of the raw cookie name and value pair (including =), matching the actual bytes sent over the network. This helps identify large cookies that may impact performance.

Can I parse cookies from any website?

Yes! You can copy the cookie string from browser DevTools (Application tab → Cookies → select domain → copy as string) or from the document.cookie JavaScript API. Paste it here for instant analysis.

Pro tip: Use the Copy as JSON button to export the parsed data for debugging or logging. The table copy output is tab-separated for spreadsheets.

Common cookie limitations: Browsers typically allow up to 50-180 cookies per domain, each up to 4096 bytes. Use this parser to audit cookie sizes and stay within limits.
