tor proxy server refusing connections- How do I view flash cookies using Chrome in Selenium

Question

I am trying to use selenium with .NET (C#) to pull Flash cookies from a particular URL (in this case, a game on kongregate). I know where the flash cookies are stored physically for the browser I use personally. I attempted to access the flash cookies using the physical location in google Chrome's directory (Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot#SharedObjects), however this has no effect on the flash cookies a gather using selenium. How can I get access to the Shared Object files that are stored through my selenium instance?

Try loading a custom Chrome profile and see if that helps. Here's a quick example.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/path/to/your/custom/profile");
