+## Using `Cookies`
+
+Follow this [guide](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Extractors#exporting-youtube-cookies) from yt-dlp to export your account cookies.
+
+> [!NOTE]  
+> Cookies are not as reliable as OAuth2. They have a very short lifespan. Also, make sure to use a burner account; do not use your main account, as it may get banned or terminated. Cookies only work on `WEB`, `WEBEMBEDDED`, `MWEB`, and `ANDROID_VR`.
+
+Specifying the cookie is as simple as doing:
+
+### Lavaplayer
+```java
+source.getOauth2Handler().setCookie("your_cookie_here");
+```
+
+### Lavalink
+```yaml
+plugins:
+  youtube:
+    enabled: true
+    oauth:
+      enabled: true
+      cookie : "put_your_cookie_here"
+      refreshToken : "put_your_refresh_token_here"
+      skipInitialization : true
