Debugging

This module uses debug module to output verbose browser console messages when needed. To turn the logging on, open the browser's DevTools console and set the local storage entry:

localStorage.debug = 'cypress-v10-preserve-cookie'

If you re-run the tests, you should see the messages appear in the console.
