#### `COOKIES_FILE`
**Possible Values:** [`None`]/`/path/to/cookies.txt`/...
Cookies file to pass to wget. To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you can specify a path to a [netscape-format](http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#3.5) `cookies.txt` file for wget to use. You can generate this file by using a browser extension to export your cookies in this format, or by using wget with `--save-cookies`.
Cookies file to pass to `wget`, `curl`, `yt-dlp` and other extractors that don't use Chrome (with its `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`) for authentication. To capture sites that require a user to be logged in, you configure this option to point to a [netscape-format `cookies.txt`](http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#3.5) file containing all the cookies you want to use during archiving.
You can generate this `cookies.txt` file by using a number of different [browser extensions](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/get-cookiestxt-locally/cclelndahbckbenkjhflpdbgdldlbecc) that can export your cookies in this format, or by using `wget` on the command line with `--save-cookies` + `--user=... --password=...`.
