Using Your Own Browser Cookies in GetVideos Locally

How GetVideos Locally cookie settings help with age-gated or member content you already can view — privately, on your own Windows PC.

Cookies are optional power tools

Most public links download without extra setup. Some videos require the same login state your browser already has. GetVideos Locally can use cookies you supply manually in Settings — never harvested from a cloud account we control, because there is no account.

Safe practices

Export cookies only from your own browser profile.
Use them only for content you are allowed to access.
Store cookie files with the same care you give passwords.
Remove old cookie files from disk when you no longer need them.

Privacy by design

Unlike web converters that ask you to “log in with Google” on their domain, local cookie import keeps the credential material on your machine for local processing.

FAQ

Are cookies required?

No. They are an advanced option for restricted media you can already view. Everyday public downloads work without them.
