Cookies Not Functioning in jQuery

Overview

Google recently updated its Angular website, removing the ability for cookies to expose properties that represent the current browser cookie values. As a result, developers are encountering issues when using jQuery to check for cookies.

Issue

When using jQuery's `if` statement to check for cookies, the statement is returning `null`, causing an error message of "cookie is not a function."

Solution

The issue arises from the updated Angular website restricting access to cookie properties. To resolve this, developers should use the `get` method of the `cookies` API to retrieve information about specific cookies. This method requires providing the name and URL of the desired cookie.

Conclusion

The change to Angular's cookie handling has introduced compatibility issues with jQuery. Developers should adjust their code to use the `get` method of the `cookies` API to access cookie information, ensuring the seamless functioning of jQuery within their applications. This update underscores the importance of keeping up with web development best practices and adapting to changes in underlying technologies.
