Cookies in collection runs

When you run a collection (via the Collection Runner or the Bruno CLI), Bruno automatically saves and forwards cookies between requests. This includes cookies set by responses with any status code — 2XX, 4XX, and 5XX responses all have their Set-Cookie headers processed. To disable automatic cookie handling in the CLI, use the --disable-cookies flag: 
bru run --disable-cookies
In the desktop app, you can toggle cookie storage off in Settings > General. To manage cookies programmatically, see the Cookie Management section in the JavaScript API Reference.
