Answer 1

always works well:

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

function setCookie(variable, value, expires_seconds) {
    var d = new Date();
    d = new Date(d.getTime() + 1000 * expires_seconds);
    document.cookie = variable + '=' + value + '; expires=' + d.toGMTString() + ';';
}

No requirements for jQuery or anything. Pure old good JavaScript.
