About YouTube cookies
Most YouTube content plays without any authentication. If you want to access age-gated videos, private playlists, or reduce rate-limiting, you can optionally add a YouTube cookie in Settings → Sources → YouTube.
On Android, the cookie is optional — local files and SoundCloud work completely without it.
Stop using browser tabs for music.
Soundie is free, takes 30 seconds to install, and works without an account.
