Question

How would I detect if the website has set a cookie in general without checking lots of individual cookies.

I looked at this similar question: Create a cookie if (and only if) it doesn't already exist. But the solutions provided there check if a specific cookie exist, not just cookies in general.

I have tried:

if($.cookie) {  
 //code   
}

jQuery really isn’t necessary to check if the current domain has set a cookie in the user’s browser, just use raw JS:

if(document.cookie.length > 0) {
    // do stuff ...
}
