Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

function readTheCookie(the_info)
{
// load the cookie into a variable and unescape it

 var the_cookie = document.cookie;
 var the_cookie = unescape(the_cookie);

// separate the values from the cookie name

 var broken_cookie = the_cookie.split("some parameter"); // parameter depends on how the cookie is stored
 var the_values = broken_cookie["some index"]; // index of the value that you want
}

These are all the parts of reading a cookie, you can use this snippet to achieve what you want.

Method 2

document.cookie gives you access to the cookies in JavaScript. You will need to do some parsing to do what you want to do.

Method 3

using this code

function setCookie(c_name, value, exdays) {
            var exdate = new Date();
            exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
            var c_value = escape(value) + ((exdays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
            document.cookie = c_name + "=" + c_value;
        }


function getCookie(c_name) {
    var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
    for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {
        x = ARRcookies[i].substr(0, ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
        y = ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=") + 1);
        x = x.replace(/^s+|s+$/g, "");
        if (x == c_name) {
            return unescape(y);
        }
    }
}

function GetSetCookie() {
            var version = getCookie("version");
            if (version != null && version != "") {
                if (version == 'full') {
                    version = 'text';
                }
                else {
                    version = 'full';
                }
            }
            else {
                version = 'full';
            }
            setCookie("version", version, 365);
            window.top.location.reload();
        }

Method 4

I have found this code in W3schools which works for me

  function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
        var d = new Date();
        d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
        var expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
        document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + "; " + expires;
    }

function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
    }
    return "";
}

function checkCookie() {
    var user = getCookie("username");
    if (user != "") {
        alert("Welcome again " + user);
    } else {
        user = prompt("Please enter your name:", "");
        if (user != "" && user != null) {
            setCookie("username", user, 365);
        }
    }
}
