To manually set a cookie in Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11), there are two options:

  1. using the address bar; or
  2. using the JavaScript console.

Using the address bar

To set a cookie via the address bar, type the following into the address bar:

javascript:document.cookie="<name>=<value>";void(0);

Where <name> is the cookie name and <value> is the cookie value.

Using the JavaScript console

Alternatively, to set the cookie using the JavaScript console, open the developer tools, type the following and execute it:

document.cookie="<name>=<value>"
