# Agent Settings

> Configure your agent settings and preferences in the `Settings` panel

Agent settings control how your agent executes tasks and behaves during automation. These settings are **agent-specific** and apply to all executions of this agent.

<Info>
  **Agent Settings vs. Agent Profiles**

  * **Agent Settings** (this page): Control agent behavior, execution limits, and agent-level configuration. These settings are tied to the agent itself.

  * **Agent Profiles**: Control browser environment settings like proxies, cookies, cache persistence, and credentials. Profiles are reusable across multiple agents. See [Agent Profiles](/fundamentals/profiles) for profile configuration.
</Info>

## Profile-Level Settings

The following settings are configured in **Agent Profiles**, not in agent settings. Profiles allow you to reuse browser environment configurations across multiple agents.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Proxy Configuration">
    **Proxy settings** (country, type, persistent IP) are configured in [Agent Profiles](/fundamentals/profiles#proxy-settings).

    <Info>
      Configure proxy settings when creating or editing an agent profile. This allows you to reuse the same proxy configuration across multiple agents.
    </Info>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cache & Cookie Persistence">
    **Cache persistence** and **cookie management** are configured in [Agent Profiles](/fundamentals/profiles#automation-features).

    <Info>
      Enable cache persistence in your agent profile to maintain browser state, cookies, and cached data between executions. This is separate from agent-level cache clearing.
    </Info>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Credentials & Authentication">
    **Credentials, cookies, and 2FA secrets** are managed in [Agent Profiles](/fundamentals/profiles#credentials-management).

    <Info>
      Store authentication credentials securely in agent profiles. These can be reused across multiple agents that need the same authentication.
    </Info>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
