Hello oldpops,

I am sorry to tell, temporarily, we are not able to easily import/Export Cookies via UI in Edge. However, we can manually copy and paste the cookies as a workaround. Here is the steps for your reference.

Since the cookies folders are a system protected. Please first change the following settings:

Explorer > View> Option button > Folder Options > Views > Check ‘Do not show hidden files and folders’ and Uncheck ‘Hide protected OS files’ > Apply > OK.

Microsoft Edge saves cookies to the folder locations below:

C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\INetCookies
C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\!001\MicrosoftEdge\Cookies
C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\!002\MicrosoftEdge\Cookies
C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\Cookies

You can copy the cookies from other computers according to the corresponding locations.

Just a reminder, as some virus and spyware will be stored in cookies, please firstly have a scan on the folders before copying from other machines.

Thanks,

I am not finding any such (import cookies) option.

This doesn't answer how to import, only to manage existing.

Is it possible?
