Profiles

A Profile is a named snapshot of the current site's cookies. Save the set you have now, then switch to another saved set in one click — no logging in and out, no hand-editing a dozen cookies each time you change scenario.

When to Use Profiles​

  • Test user states — logged-in, guest, admin, trial vs paid.
  • Reproduce a bug that only happens for a particular cookie set.
  • Demo flows — jump between prepared states while presenting.
  • Reset quickly — snapshot a known-good set and return to it after a messy test.

Profiles change a whole set of cookies at once. To pin a single cookie against changes, use Freeze instead.

Saving a Profile​

  1. Get the site's cookies into the state you want.
  2. Open the Profiles view and save the current cookies under a name — for example logged-in, guest, or admin.

Switching Profiles​

Select a saved profile to apply its cookie set to the site. Reload the page to let the app pick up the new state.

Export & Import​

Profiles export and import as a file, so you can share a scenario with a teammate or move it between machines.

  • Export a profile to a file.
  • Import a profile from a file.

Imports are scoped to the current site. A profile captured on one site can't inject cookies into another, which prevents session-fixation-style mistakes.

Storage & Privacy​

Because a profile has to restore cookie values, Cookie Lens keeps those values in local extension storage — on your device only, never transmitted. See the Privacy Policy.
