I think the quickest way would be to instantiate HTTPCookie and add it to web views configuration. Something like this:

let cookie = HTTPCookie(properties: [...])!

/* Something like this
let cookie = HTTPCookie(properties: [.domain: "something.org", 
                                     .path: "/",  
                                     .name: "cookieName",
                                     .value: "cookieValue",
                                     .expires: NSDate(timeIntervalSinceNow: 31556926)])!
*/

webView.configuration.websiteDataStore.httpCookieStore.setCookie(cookie)

let wkCookieStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default().httpCookieStore
if let cookies = HTTPCookieStorage.shared.cookies {
   for cookie in cookies {
          wkCookieStore.setCookie(cookie) {
                    }          
  }
}

I use this method to sync cookies from httpcookiestorage to wkcookiestorage, hopefully as of now you may have understood the wkwebview cookie storage is different and nsurlsession cookie storage is different.

i sync the cookies on

webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didStartProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!)

This way you won't miss any cookies need to be set to the subsequent requests made by the webpage.
