What is a Cookie header?

A Cookie header is sent by the browser to a website and usually contains multiple name-value pairs separated by semicolons. Developers often inspect cookies while debugging login sessions, preferences, tracking parameters or API requests.

This page runs in your browser and is designed for quick inspection. Avoid pasting sensitive production session cookies into any online tool unless you fully understand the risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is this cookie parser free?

Yes. This cookie parser is free to use and runs directly in your browser.

Does this tool store my cookies?

No. The current version parses cookies in your browser. Your input is not intentionally saved to a server.

Can this decode URL-encoded cookie values?

Yes. The decoded value column tries to URL-decode each cookie value so encoded JSON-like strings and spaces are easier to read.

Can I parse Set-Cookie headers?

This tool is mainly designed for Cookie request headers. A Set-Cookie response header includes attributes such as Path, Domain, Expires, SameSite and Secure, so it may need a more specialized parser.

Is it safe to paste cookies?

Be careful. Cookies can contain sensitive session values. Do not paste private session cookies into online tools unless you understand what the value is and where the tool runs.
