Have you navigated to a URL before trying to get cookies from the browser? — Ardesco, Jul 22 '13 at 08:57

The methods for working with cookies are defined in the Selenium::WebDriver::Options - see the API docs.

To access these cookie methods, you need to call the manage method for the driver:

@browser.manage

To get a cookie based on its name, you need to do:

@browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")

Note that cookie_named returns a single cookie that matches. The cookies values are a hash. Therefore, you can get values of the cookie by doing:

cookie = @browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")
cookie[:name]
#=> "configsession"

If you want to get the name of all the cookies on the page, use the all_cookies method:

driver.manage.all_cookies.each do |cookie|
    puts cookie[:name]
end

This worked for me:

Cookie cookie= driver.manage().getCookieNamed("sitename.session");  
String cookieVal= cookie.getValue();

Which programming language is this? Given that the question is tagged with 'ruby', it would be better to give an answer written in Ruby. – Justin Ko Jul 03 '14 at 17:14

You are right, this is not ruby but java. But this reply helped me :) – Michel Löhr Aug 04 '14 at 11:03

    Set<Cookie> cook =  driver.manage().getCookies();
    for(Cookie cooks : cook) 
    {

    System.out.println(cooks.getName());
    }

    Cookie t = driver.manage().getCookieNamed("_gid");
    if(t!=null){
    String s1 = t.getValue();
    System.out.println("The Cookie value is : " + s1);
               }
