So if you are not able to read the cookies. Don’t worry, there are a couple of things you can do.

  1. Look for a cookie support add-on for your JS framework or app. React for example has one called react-cookies. That should help read cookies.
  2. We recommend instead that you read the cart key value in the returned header response X-CoCart-API. Once you have that value you can use it to set the cart_key parameter on all API requests. However, this method is designed for guest customers only.

For a registered customer you would not need the use of cookies either as you will be authenticating the customer from when they logged in.
