I need to get all the cookies from the browser
You can only access cookies for a specific site. Using document.cookie you will get a list of escaped key=value pairs seperated by a semicolon.
secret=do%20not%20tell%you;last_visit=1225445171794To simplify the access, you have to parse the string and unescape all entries:
var getCookies = function(){ var pairs = document.cookie.split(";"); var cookies = {}; for (var i=0; i<pairs.length; i++){ var pair = pairs[i].split("="); cookies[(pair[0]+'').trim()] = unescape(pair.slice(1).join('=')); } return cookies;}So you might later write:
var myCookies = getCookies();alert(myCookies.secret); // "do not tell you"
- You can't see cookies for other sites.
- You can't see
HttpOnlycookies. - All the cookies you can see are in the
document.cookieproperty, which contains a semicolon separated list ofname=valuepairs.
You cannot. By design, for security purpose, you can access only the cookies set by your site. StackOverflow can't see the cookies set by UserVoice nor those set by Amazon.
