When you sign into Bandcamp, a "Cookie" is created to identify the user session. The following outlines the steps in obtaining the value of this cookie. Firefox was used for illustration, but you should be able to do it on other modern desktop browsers too.

  1. Visit the Bandcamp website. Make sure you are signed out and press F12 to open up the Developer Tools.
  • Choose the Network tab.
  • Type your username in the filter text box.

  1. Sign into Bandcamp as you normally would.
  • After signing in, you should see an entry in the Developer Tools that shows your username. Select it.
  • Scroll down in the Headers tab until you see Cookie under Request Headers.
  • Right-click on the value of Cookie and select Copy Value.
  • The cookie has been placed in your clipboard and is valid until you sign out or Bandcamp expires it. Do not reveal the cookie to anyone!
