I've looked over numerous questions and the selenium docs, explaining how to force Chrome to honor cookie data from pre-existing profiles. I've set Chrome settings to allow all cookies, and I tried to use Python pickling to persist cookie data across sessions. Still, I'm getting a guest or Profile 1 session instead of the signed-in session that I'm looking for. Note that I'm using an implementation that must use selenium remote, as I need it to work off of a server/client relationship rather than locally. On my old environment, Firefox profiles were much easier to implement.. I'm on a Linux/Ubuntu (Jammy) w/latest Chrome setup..

for cookie in cookies:
driver.add_cookie(cookie)
