# UseCookie

## Name

UseCookie -- defines whether to use per-session cookies during indexing

`indexer.conf`

## Synopsis

UseCookie {yes | no}

## Description

UseCookie defines whether to use HTTP cookies during indexing.

Some sites may require cookies to crawl dynamic pages, e.g. database driven documents, CGIs, etc. Once indexer hits a dynamically created page, the site can request setting up a cookie containing session `id` or other kind of session information, and require that cookie for each subsequent request to other dynamically created documents.

When UseCookie is set to `yes`, indexer remembers all cookies set by the crawled sites in RAM, and uses them for subsequent requests to the same servers (taking into account the `domain` and `path` cookie attributes).

The default value is `no`.

## Examples

    UseCookie yes
