# Store Cookie

Store Cookie reads a named browser cookie and saves its value in the [Value Store](/values/value-store.md). Use it when a later step or check needs the cookie content.

## When to use it

* Capture a session or tracking cookie after login for a later API step.
* Save a consent cookie value before asserting it with [Check Cookie](/test-steps/check/check-cookie.md).
* Reuse the stored value in form fields or headers through a [Value](/values/value-store.md) reference.
