How To Get And Set Cookies With JavaScript

In this JavaScript tutorial, we'll look at how to get and set cookies with JavaScript.

In the tutorial, we'll cover a really fundamental JavaScript task which is getting and setting cookies in the browser.

You'll see that it's really easy to retrieve the cookie string as a whole but it gets a lot more complicated when trying to retrieve the value of a particular cookie is a lot tricker.

Setting a cookie as you will see is simple but unexpected Channel Handle @codebubb

When I try this locally, it looks like document.cookie has the value of "cookie1=test", but when I try document.cookie immediately after that, the value is "". Do cookies not work locally?

document.cookie [Enter]
""
document.cookie = "cookie1=test" [Enter]
"cookie1=test"
document.cookie [Enter]
""

This works when on say Google, but not when debugging on a local HTML file using the same browser.

Amazing! Thanks for the tutorial. Could you also show us a tutorial on how I can extract a particular cookie on a domain via JavaScript and delete its value? (for example for navigation cookie set to 'm:male or f:female).

Is there a way to automate the process of setting the cookie value ?

[sarthakkavidayal]

Hey man, you saved me at my new internship :-) One question: if I wanted to make an if statement that checked if my cookie status is equal to "Tracking", how would I do that? Thanks~

I have a doubt

How to set and get a cookie to get the username of an account holder by accessing the details from the database..

Can u pls tell me

[omedjamal]

great tutorial..one question, inside the reduce function why [key.trim()] should be inside square brackets?

[kizhissery]

for those who dont want others to scrape your api data, use cookie parser and set htmlonly to true.
hence document.cookie will be null.
Hence scraper cant access it
