Burp cookie jar updated from proxy

Karl | Last updated: Oct 02, 2023 11:38PM UTC

Hello, reading the tutorial about the use of cookie jar I saw these lines and I have a doubt: "In the case of the Proxy, Burp also inspects incoming requests from the browser. This is useful where an application has set a persistent cookie that is present in Burp's browser that is required to handle your session." What is the meaning of "Burp's browser"? Does it mean that cookie jar is updated from incoming proxy requests only when using the embedded burp browser or also when using any browser which has set burp as proxy such as Chrome, etc..? Thank you
