How do I extract and view cookies from Android Chrome?

Question

Is there any way for me to get and read cookies from my Android Chrome browser?

Thank you.

well, you can get, read, and edit cookies from Chrome Desktop (windows). The Google Sync feature does not work in syncing the cookies... — Cris Lee, Mar 20 '16 at 03:53

You can view cookies in Chrome on Android if you connect your Android device to a PC/Mac/laptop via USB. No rooting required. The laptop needs to have Chrome installed. You can then inspect the content on your Android device in Chrome on your laptop by visiting chrome://inspect/#devices

There's a little more to it than that, you need to enable developer mode on your Android device:

Settings -> About Phone -> Build number. Tap build number 7 times.

Then under Settings you will see a new item - "Developer Options".

Within Developer Options enable USB debugging.

If you don't see your connected device listed on your laptop Chrome URL: chrome://inspect/#devices then you might need to install a USB driver. Or disconnect and reconnect device after installing USB driver.

Details here - https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

Once you can inspect content you can get cookies from the network tab in the same way as you would in Chrome on your laptop.

Note : This doesn't work in inCognitoMode

Now it works after following the idea and this question, too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21925992/chrome-devtools-devices-does-not-detect-device-when-plugged-in. It seems like `adb` is required to get RSA footprint. Thanks! — WesternGun, May 31 '19 at 16:25

Follow these steps

1: Go the web page that you want the cookies from.

2: In the URL type the following:

javascript:alert(document.cookie);

Then press ENTER

Just type, DO not PASTE!

This is a interesting way to do this, but its only show a small part of all cookies. – user706420 Dec 02 '21 at 13:22

`javascript:document.cookie;` works better – user123 Jan 30 '22 at 12:44

It's also possible to put them in a prompt() window to make them copy-pastable: `javascript:prompt("Cookies", document.cookie);` – Dimosthenis Nikoudis Apr 15 '22 at 18:09

Thanks @DimosthenisNikoudis works well. But is there any other way than just typing it in every time? – Kaspar L. Palgi Jul 20 '23 at 10:28

Without an external PC and a cable, but on a rooted device, it is possible to access the cookies database by a tool like SQLight Editor by opening this file:

/data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/Default/Cookies

You could try using the the net-export page chrome://net-export/ . I guess that should work, or at least you can use it to make a .json file, viewing it's contents however, I don't know how to do that
