CSV DictWriter not moving to next row and deleting previous values

I have this code:

os.truncate('cookies.csv', 0)
fieldnames = ['domain', 'expiry', 'httpOnly', 'name', 'path', 'secure', 'value']


def open_csv(value):
    with open('cookies.csv', 'r+') as f:
        writer = csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=fieldnames)
        writer.writerow(value)

cookie = driver.get_cookie('example cookie')  # get cookie from selenium chrome webdriver
driver.close()
open_csv(cookie)

It should write in this format, values aren't accurate just example:

'domain': google.com, 'expiry': 123456, 'httpOnly': true, 'name': cookie1, 'path':/, 'secure': true, 'value': 123abc
'domain': google.com, 'expiry': 123457, 'httpOnly': true, 'name': cookie2, 'path':/, 'secure': true, 'value': 456def

However, it only writes in the first row, so after writing cookie1 it will then write cookie2 in its place.

You need to open the file for appending, using the a+ file mode. See this SO answer for detailed explanation.
