Is it possible to check if cookies are enabled with modernizr?

Question

I was researching about how to check if the cookies are enabled in a browser and i found a lot of answer, i even tested a few ones, but after that a friend of mine

Answer 1

A direct answer to the question is 'Yes!' and it is built in

Example code:

if (Modernizr.cookies == false) {

    alert('Please enable cookies');    
}
else { 
    // do something with cookies
}

You can also use the css class .cookies or .no-cookies to show/hide a panel telling the user they need cookies enabled.

.cookies #noCookies
{
    display: none;
}


   This site requires cookies! Please turn them on already!

(This .cookies class is added to tag by Modernizr).

Note: If you are creating a custom build of Modernizr the cookies option is currently 'hidden' under the 'Non-core detects' section.
