Answer 1

In Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 you can do:

// using Windows.Web.Http;
// using Windows.Web.Http.Filters;

Uri uri = new Uri("http://kiewic.com/your/url/");

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("fooName", uri.Host, "/");
cookie.Value = "barValue";

HttpBaseProtocolFilter filter = new HttpBaseProtocolFilter();
HttpCookieManager cookieManager = filter.CookieManager;
cookieManager.SetCookie(cookie, false);

MyWebView.Navigate(uri);
