The Hard(er) Way - Inspector

2. Open developer tools. You can do this by right clicking and clicking “inspect” usually, but check how to do this for your browser.
3. Head to the “Network” tab
4. Refresh your page, and make sure that there are not filters applied on the network tab

5. Look through the requests, starting from the first. The first one to have a “Cookie” in the request headers section is the one you should use

   

6. Copy this cookie value, and use it as input into pitchlane
