title: Java - can I use browser cookies to directly access data on a website?
body: <p>With a firefox browser I have access to a website. Using cookies I don't have to login each time. </p>
  
  <p>Please explain when this is not a smart question - so I know how to go on: </p>
  
  <p>Question: after logged on with the browser, can I start a Java application and re-use that cookie from the browser to directly access data on the website? So, like the browser, skipping the logon procedure? </p>
  
  <p>Why - logging on with the browser goes easy in my case. Logging on from a Java application is difficult. </p>
  
  <p>I hope you can help OR explain. </p>
