Simple way to convert cookies into list of dicts and save to json or db. This is methods of class which have session attribute.

def dump_cookies(self):
    cookies = []
    for c in self.session.cookies:
        cookies.append({
            "name": c.name,
            "value": c.value,
            "domain": c.domain,
            "path": c.path,
            "expires": c.expires
        })
    return cookies

def load_cookies(self, cookies):
    for c in cookies:
        self.session.cookies.set(**c)

All we need is five parameters such as: name, value, domain, path, expires
