Answer 1

I know it is an old question but I came across this problem too. Just for the record, There is a little API in developers mozilla web page.

Yoy can get any cookie by name using only JS. The code is also cleaner IMHO (except for the long line, that I'm sure you can easily fix).

function getCookie(sKey) {
    if (!sKey) { return null; }
    return decodeURIComponent(document.cookie.replace(new RegExp("(?:(?:^|.*;)\\s*" + encodeURIComponent(sKey).replace(/[\-\.\+\*]/g, "\\$&") + "\\s*\\=\\s*([^;]*).*$)|^.*$"), "$1")) || null;
}

As stated in the comments be aware that this method assumes that the key and value were encoded using encodeURIComponent(). Remove decode & encodeURIComponent() if the key and value of the cookie were not encoded.
