I didn't understand why driver.manage().getCookies(); always returns with size 0 in FF and IE.

but I found this workaround, using executeScript

Set<Cookie> cookies = driver.manage().getCookies();

if (cookies.size() == 0) { // To support FF and IE
    String cookiesString = (String) driver.executeScript("return document.cookie");
    cookies = parseBrowserCookies(cookiesString);
}




private Set<Cookie> parseBrowserCookies(String cookiesString) {
    Set<Cookie> cookies = new HashSet<>();

    if (StringUtils.isBlank(cookiesString)) {
        return cookies;
    }

    Arrays.asList(cookiesString.split("; ")).forEach(cookie -> {
        String[] splitCookie = cookie.split("=", 2);
        cookies.add(new Cookie(splitCookie[0], splitCookie[1], "/"));
    });

    return cookies;
}

The issue appears to be with the 64-bits driver. I have tried with the 32-bits driver and it works. If using WebDriverManager just do:

WebDriverManager.iedriver().arch32().setup();

Another thing that could be related(not very sure) is a setup for Internet Explorer 11 at registry level, see Selenium IE driver information:

For IE 11 only, you will need to set a registry entry on the target computer so that the driver can maintain a connection to the instance of Internet Explorer it creates. For 32-bit Windows installations, the key you must examine in the registry editor is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. For 64-bit Windows installations, the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE. Please note that the FEATURE_BFCACHE subkey may or may not be present, and should be created if it is not present. Important: Inside this key, create a DWORD value named iexplore.exe with the value of 0.

Are you sure your webdriver is on the domain you are expecting the cookie to be set on? getCookies only returns the cookies for the current domain.

If the cookies are HTTPOnly you can't read them from Javascript/Selenium

Maybe you need to set cookie first, AFAIK webdriver always start with fresh session. Instead you can try to setup user profile like this: How to make FirefoxDriver use existing profile?

This is what you could do to get all cookies

allCookies = driver.manage().getCookies();
