true if you want to enable all cookies in Safari

Capability Description Expected values
browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies Enable all cookies in Safari A string. Default is false.
true if you want to enable all cookies in Safari

For example, you can allow all cookies in Safari as shown below:

// Allowing all cookies in Safari

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies", "true")
// Allowing all cookies in Safari

var capabilities = {
 'browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies' : 'true'
}
// Allowing all cookies in Safari

// For Chrome browser
ChromeOptions capability = new ChromeOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies", true);

// For Edge browser
EdgeOptions capability = new EdgeOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies", true);

// For IE browser
InternetExplorerOptions capability = new InternetExplorerOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies", true);

// For Firefox browser
FirefoxOptions capability = new FirefoxOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies", true);
# Allowing all cookies in Safari

$caps = array(
 "browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies" => "true"
);
# Allowing all cookies in Safari

capabilities = {
 "browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies": "true"
}
# Allowing all cookies in Safari

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies"] = "true"
# Allowing all cookies in Safari

my $capabilities = {
  "browserstack.safari.allowAllCookies" => "true"
}
