Just wanna throw another way how this can be done. Not saying it is the best, but it is a way. You can use JavaScript to set cookies as well. Just override onPageFinished in WebViewClient

new WebViewClient() {

        override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView, url: String) {

                val javascript = """document.cookie = "key=$value""""

                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
                    view.evaluateJavascript(javascript) { s -> Timber.d("Inject: %s", s) }
                } else {
                    view.loadUrl("javascript:" + javascript, null)
                }
        }
}

One thing with this approach: you will have to reload the webView. If anyone knows how to fix that, please comment.
