Cookies

This code demonstrates how to use IronPDF to authenticate a request using network credentials and apply cookies for rendering a webpage as a PDF.

ChromePdfRenderer: Used for rendering HTML content into PDF format.
RequestContexts.Global: Ensures that the PDF rendering maintains the same browsing context for lifetime of the process, enabling the use of cookies and authentication across requests.
ChromeHttpLoginCredentials: Provides network authentication when accessing web pages that require login credentials.
ApplyCookies: Applies the specified cookies and credentials to the HTTP request, vital for rendering secure pages.
uri: Represents the web address of a page that needs to be rendered into a PDF and typically requires user authentication. In this example, it points to a locally hosted webpage.

This setup is particularly advantageous when rendering PDFs from authenticated pages, such as invoices, reports, or dashboards that require user authentication.
