All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class CookieManager

Manages cookies for a WebClient. This class is thread-safe. You can disable Cookies by calling setCookiesEnabled(false). The CookieManager itself takes care of this and ignores all cookie request if disabled. If you override this your methods have to do the same.
