Cookie Clicker has a built-in shame system. If you open the console and type a cheat, the game marks your save with "Cheated Cookies Taste Awful" and taints your achievements.

Modify the raw text. Find 5.32e+14 and change it to 9.99e+99.
Re-encode to Base64. Copy your modified text. Go to a Base64 encoder. Paste. Click encode.
Import back into the game.
Verdict: Powerful but tedious. Most players stop at Method 1.
