Adding cookies before navigating to the domain are called domain-less cookies which i believe is not possible.

async example() {
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser("chrome").build();
  try {
    cookies = JSON.fs.readFileSync('cookies')
    await driver.get("https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-319-77093-2_14-1");
    for (cookie of cookies) {
      await driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
    }
    driver.navigate().refresh();
    await driver.wait(() => false, 10000000);
  } finally {
    await driver.quit();
  }
};
