Read a cookie value in portal_normal.vm using path attribute

Question

I am trying to get the cookies value in portal_normal.vm of my custom liferay theme.

At first I am setting a cookie value on click event using JavaScript. In some pages I able to get the cookies in theme but some pages I am not able to get the cookie value,but when I check in f12 cookies it is present.

Below is code for setting cookie using JavaScript:

  $('.close').click(function(){
   document.cookie = "cookie_set=true;path=/";
   $('.close').attr("data-dismiss","alert");
  });

Liferay custom theme to get the cookie:

 #foreach($cookie in $request.getCookies())
      #if ($cookie.getName() eq "cookie_set")
            #set($previousWeb = $cookie.getValue())
      #end

Problem here is I am able to get the cookie value in some pages.

Can any one help me out?

Thanks, Naresh.

What do you want to achieve? Are you trying to show something only once based on cookie value? — Parkash Kumar, Apr 29 '16 at 13:04

try this

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 "";
}
