I'am working an a Grails app and create different cookies.
Some appears in the chrome console Resources TAB and some are not showing.
I need to get the value of these Cookies using Angularjs and can access only the one that are showing on console Resources TAB.
The other cookies are visible in the Chrome Content settings button.
In the Cookies section, but not in the Chrome console Resources TAB.
All cookies are created the same way:
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("username", username)
cookie.maxAge = 1209600 //14 days
cookie.httpOnly = true
response.addCookie(cookie)
Thanks for your help.
Ok the problem was the path. To be visible in all the page the path must be "/"
cookie.setPath("/")

I ran these following commands in console of new tab page.
As you can see, the cookie is not storing any info. Why is this?
You are not on https://google.com. You are on a browser page (aka about:). Those are special.
Let's say I am logged in (with login/password) on a website/service https://example.com in a browser. If I open Developer tools, I can run document.cookie in the console and copy the string containing all the cookies associated with the current website.
Then I open a new incognito window, I go to https://example.com. Of course, I'm not logged in. I can remove the current cookies with the method described in Clearing all cookies with JavaScript in the Developer tools console, and then restore the cookies copied before:
document.cookie = "<the string that I copied before>"
Then after a page reload (F5), I expected to be logged-in again, but it did not work. The cookies set with document.cookie = "<the string that I copied before>" are not kept. (For example, in the case of Reddit, it did not work.)
What's wrong with this JS approach to set cookies in the "Developer tools" from a previous session from another browser? Shouldn't it work?
Normally, the session id is set to server only, you can not get session id in JS/console.
Source: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#Restrict_access_to_cookies
so I set some cookies manually via Javascript by writing to document.cookie and they are getting written fine.
I checked using
console.log(document.cookie)
My issue is that even if I manually cleared my history via
Internet options => Browsing History => Delete (making sure "Cookies
and other website data" is ticked)
Making sure "Delete browsing
history on exit" is ticked and "Cookies and other website data" is
also ticked
document.cookie still shows the cookie values I manually created.
Things I've tried:
Close the tab. Manually clear my history. And then reopen my page on a new tab
Close IE11 completely. Reopen the app. And then open my page on a new tab
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks
ps. While I can expire my cookie via Javascript. I cannot expect end users to do same. :)
I've seen this happen if the website is "a favorite" in IE11. Can you try the following?
Go to Internet options => Browsing History => Delete (untick "Preserve Favorites website data"). Click delete, and close IE11.
If your website is not a favorite, let me know.
If you've already cleared your cookies the normal way, have you tried unchecking (if set) the Preserver Favorites Website Data option under Delete Browsing History? Tools > Safety > Delete Browsing History OR Ctrl + Shift + Delete.
If the above doesn't work, try pressing F12 and then Ctrl + R to clear browser cache, confirm you want to delete the browser cache. There is also an option to clear cookies for that specific domain under the Cache tab in Developer Tools Window.
I had the same problem with IE11 working under Windows 8.1: somehow the delete Browser Cookie didn't take effect. I could verify it using Burp: the cookies were still sent to the website.
I tried the various options:
Internet options => Browsing History => Delete (untick "Preserve Favorites website data"). Click delete, and close IE11.
Manually typing 'Document.cookie = ""' into the Developer Console
Resetting IE to default configuration
The only thing that actually worked for me was clearing the Browser Cookies through the Developer Console, as mentioned by lloan. For IE11, it looks a bit different so if you are looking for it, here it is:
Open the Developer Tools using F12
Go to Network
Click on "Clear cookies for domain"
For screenshot, see here
I've a requirement to verify for the website that I need to test.
Website shall not use cookies
My question, How do I find out the Smartway if any whether the entire Website is really using the cookies or not?
I know a way by which I'll disable the cookies in the browser and then while accessing the website from that browser it should shout out that cookies are not enabled in the browser. But I believe for this I'll have to check each-and-every webpage to confirm whole website is not using cookies.
You can run document.cookie in your console to read all the cookies accessible from that location.
You could also open up your dev tools and view them there. In Chrome, the cookies can be found in the application tab of the dev tools.
More info
if (document.cookie != null) {
alert("Cookies!")
} else {
alert("No cookies!")
}

<h1>Note: Stack Overflow dosent let me check document.cookie ):</h1>
I think this will work...
I'm testing some cookies that I'm creating via JavaScript. Is there a way to check if the cookie was set in Chrome Developer Tools or something similar?
To check the current page's cookies using Chrome:
Option 1
Open Developer Tools (usually F12)
Click the "Application" tab (used to be "Resources")
Expand the "Cookies" list item
Click any list item.
You can view cookies in detail here, and clear them out (click any list item under cookies then click the cancel icon on the bottom left of the table).
Option 2
Use the javascript console, e.g. document.cookie. Less sophisticated (graphically), but you can work with the data using javascript. Note that the results will be restricted based on how websites are allowed to access local data from other sites (see MDN Same-origin policy).
Option 3
There is also chrome://settings/siteData (was previously settings/cookies). Just put the url into Chrome's address field.
In your console, type document.cookie. It will return the active cookies for that page.
Latest version of Chrome (v52) has moved this functionality to the "Application" tab. So updated steps are:
Open Developer Tools
Click the "Application" tab
Cookies are listed under the "Storage" list item on the left sidebar
Another method is to type the following:
chrome://settings/cookies
in the address bar.
Then use the left click to see more details (content, expiration date, etc.).
On the latest version of chrome Chrome v85 the url is:
chrome://settings/siteData
On chrome version 61:
chrome://settings/content/cookies
You can also use web developer tool which not only helps you to view cookies but also helps you to display.delete (session,domain,path) cookies individually.
