Use cookies from browsers.
For example:

--cookies-from-browser firefox

in the past i've used an extension to do this, but browser cookies with yt-dlp are the easiest way!
but if i don't have a browser installed on my system, but a portable version how can load my cookies?
Cookies file is stored on \Data\Default\Network
