I simply want to display a notification in javascript once someone open the page for the first time (1yr expiredate).

var CookieDate = new Date;
CookieDate.setFullYear(CookieDate.getFullYear( ) +1);
document.cookie = 'info=true; expires=' + CookieDate.toGMTString( ) + ';';

After that i try to read the cookie with

var x = document.cookie;
if x == "true" {..}else{...}

but i never get anything even if i try to go with

var x = document.cookie;
alert(x)

this ends up empty.

(Jquery is no option)

well `document.cookie` does not return the last cookie stored.. but all cookies available – Hacketo Aug 14 '15 at 09:29
yes but so the alert(x) should not be empty, right? – Fabian Boulegue Aug 14 '15 at 09:29

Indeed Fabian, is your code running on the same domain? – axelduch Aug 14 '15 at 09:31
Yes it does (currently all local) – Fabian Boulegue Aug 14 '15 at 09:31
Try using `jquery cookie` plugin to read the value. It may help. – Akshay Aug 14 '15 at 10:30
