Set cookies with cheerio

I switched from playwright to cheerio because of familiarity and cannot figure out how to set cookies (specifically for auth).

In playwright I did ontext.page.context().addCookies. How do I do this in cheerio?

One option is to simply add them to request.headers as cookie string either during enqueueing or preNavigationHooks.

Second option is to do it through session as session.setCookies https://crawlee.dev/api/core/class/Session#setCookies. This needs to be done in preNavigationHooks because you don't have the attached session in enqueueing yet

That's what I was looking for, thanks!
