usage:
- create cookies.json file somewhere, preferrably outside cobalt directory
- in docker, you can bind mount it (`volumes` in composefile)
- if you don't want cobalt to update the cookies, set it to `:ro` (cobalt will print a warning about this, ignore it)
- set COOKIE_PATH to the absolute path of this file
- enjoy?
usage in services: probably the simplest api ever
- import { getCookie, updateCookie } from '../../cookie/manager.js';
- const cookie = getCookie('<service_name>');
- add this to headers - `headers: { cookie }`
- after fetch is done, save potential cookie updates: updateCookie(cookie, fetch.headers)
