You can define your own segment at outlined here: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/administering/segmentation.html#Defining%20a%20New%20Segment
In step 6 where you edit the segment, you need to supply a JavaScript expression that will resolve to a boolean, true or false. You can put any JavaScript expression here that meets your need, so you can include script that will have a complex expression if you want. But rather than write a complex JavaScript expression here, it would be better to write JavaScript that exposes a function which returns true or false and then include that JavaScript function on your pages via a client library. Then, in the segment, you can simply invoke the function rather defined in your client library than try to write a complex expression.
As long as the JavaScript expression defined in the segment evaluates to true/false, the segment will be usable.
Without your own JavaScript you can easily fetch query string values of look at cookies. See these other questions for details on that:
