Answer 1

document.cookie="MYBIGCOOKIE=1";

Your cookies would look like:

"MYBIGCOOKIE=1; PHPSESSID=d76f00dvgrtea8f917f50db8c31cce9"

first of all read all cookies:

var read_cookies = document.cookie;

then split all cookies with ";":

var split_read_cookie = read_cookies.split(";");

then use for loop to read each value. Into loop each value split again with "=":

for (i=0;i
