Yes, you can save the cookie to a file by specifying a file name when you create the cookie object. If you only need the cookie around for the session, then you don't need to save it, unless you don't want to re-create it next time you run your bot.

When a request is sent to the server, the cookie is neatly tucked away in the header of the request. That's how the server gets the cookie - through the browser (or the web bot in our case), which creates the header for the request.
