It is possible to import cookies that were exported earlier in Python with Selenium using the add_cookie function. The syntax for adding a cookie is as follows:

driver.add_cookie({'name': 'cookie_name', 'value': 'cookie_value', 'domain': 'cookie_domain'})

To import cookies from a file, you need to read the file and then use the json.loads function to convert the JSON string into a Python dictionary. You can then loop through the dictionary and add each cookie using add_cookie.

Here's an example of how you can import cookies from a file:

import json

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Read cookies from file
with open('cookies.json', 'r') as file:
    cookies = json.loads(file.read())

# Add each cookie to the driver
for cookie in cookies:
    driver.add_cookie(cookie)

# Visit a page to use the imported cookies
driver.get('https://www.example.com')
