# Automating sites behind a login

To automate sites behind a login, you can add cookies that will be set when the flow is run in the cloud.

For example, to run flows that automate Instagram, add cookies for "[www.instagram.com](http://www.instagram.com)" to ensure Browserflow can login on your behalf.
