 **NOTE**: Only one crawler may run at a time, so if you have specified one or more user ids in the **Role Simulation** box, first the "Guest" crawler will run, and then the role-based crawlers will run, one after the other.
-===== Cookie Crawler =====

-Coming soon.
+To crawl for a particular cookie, enter the cookie name, and the values you wish to crawl for. Values should be one per line, and can include a blank line. There will be one crawler created per cookie value, per simulated role. Press the + button to add additional cookies, but be aware the number of crawlers grows quickly with each new cookie, and can be a drain on system resources.
+For example, if you crawl for ''Guest'' and ''Administrator'' roles, and you add ''testcookie1'' with the values ''A'' and ''B'', you have 4 crawlers:
+  - Guest, testcookie1=A
+  - Guest, testcookie1=B
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=A
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=B
+Add ''testcookie2'' with the values ''C'', ''D'', and <blank> and you suddenly have 12 crawlers.
+  - Guest, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=C
+  - Guest, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=C
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=C
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=C
+  - Guest, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=D
+  - Guest, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=D
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=
+  - Guest, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=
+  - Guest, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=A, testcookie2=
+  - Administrator, testcookie1=B, testcookie2=
+There aren't many situations where you would need to simulate a cookie crawler, but it can be useful for sites that use a cookie to control multiple languages or currencies.
