VB.NET - How do I download a webpage that requires cookies, etc?

I've got a program that directly queries URLs, but i get junk results from web pages that require cookies, among other things.

Is there some way to simulate cookies programmatically, or is there some way to use a browser daemon or something to do the querying?

Thanks

Generally: I'm interested to know the answer to this one as well... I'd assign additional points to the correct answer, if I could :-)

To the OP: what type of information is in the cookies that the absence of results in junk? I have recently got around an autologin cookie by having my page complete the login process... That answer is here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23785739/logging-into-web-sites-with-VB-NET.html

Obviously, if your cookie is more than logging in, then you need another answer... good luck
