$configuration = (new Configuration())->setCookieDir('cookies/');
$cookieJar = (new CookieFileHandler($configuration))->parseFile('my_cookie_file');

/*Add (and save) a cookie*/

$cookieJar->add(
    (new Cookie())
        ->setHttpOnly(true)
        ->setPath('/foo')
        ->setSecure(true)
        ->setExpire(new DateTime('2020-02-20 20:20:02'))
