Hi,

It would be nice, to have an option to import cookies, which can be used by youtube-dl to download videos.
With this option it would be easy to bypass the 402/payment required limitation.

Thank you.

The --cookies option already imports the cookies from the file if it already exists.

Documented the fact the --cookies can also be used to load cookies from in the --help output.
