Getting caught in the cookie jar
While targeting an application, Burp Suite captures all cookies while proxying and crawling. Burp Suite stores these cookies in a cache called the cookie jar. This cookie jar is used within the default session-handling rule and can be shared among the suite of Burp Suite tools, such as Proxy, Intruder, and Repeater.
