@Lukas W. thank you for you instruction!

I have some problems with getting current logged in user.

I logged in on my forum.
I created external script test.php in forum root with following content:

<?php

require(__DIR__ . '/src/XF.php');
XF::start(__DIR__);
var_dump(XF::visitor());

But when I open this script in browser (test script have access to all XF cookies) and look at var_dump output, I can't see any current logged in user data. All fields are empty, like from guest visitor.

Please, help me to resolve this issue.
