You can define Cookie parameters the same way you define `Query` and `Path` parameters.

## Import `Cookie`

First import `Cookie`:

```Python hl_lines="1"
{!./src/cookie_params/tutorial001.py!}
```

## Declare `Cookie` parameters

Then declare the cookie parameters using the same structure as with `Path` and `Query`.

The first value is the default value, you can pass all the extra validation or annotation parameters:

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!./src/cookie_params/tutorial001.py!}
```

!!! note "Technical Details"
    `Cookie` is a "sister" class of `Path` and `Query`. It also inherits from the same common `Param` class.

    But remember that when you import `Query`, `Path`, `Cookie` and others from `fastapi`, <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/path-params-numeric-validations/#recap" target="_blank">those are actually functions that return classes of the same name</a>.

!!! info
    To declare cookies, you need to use `Cookie`, because otherwise the parameters would be interpreted as query parameters.

## Recap

Declare cookies with `Cookie`, using the same common pattern as `Query` and `Path`.
