# addCookies()

Adds a list of [cookies](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/cookie/) into the [browser context](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/). All pages within this [browser context](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/) will have these [cookies](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/cookie/) set.

> Note
> 
> If a [cookie](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/cookie/)’s `url` property is not provided, both `domain` and `path` properties must be specified.
