How to pass cookie value into Drupal View We want to create some logic using JS that creates a cookie and set the node's taxonomy term id (preferred) or taxonomy term name as the cookie value. Then we want to use the cookie value to filter a View so that when a user visits a page, the view that is shown is filter based on the cookie value. 

How can I pass a cookie value into the View?

I ended up using a mixture of a list block, javascript, and a custom module that on full node view, the taxonomy term id is stored into the browser's locale storage. I am no longer using a filter view based on cookie. Also, the custom module stores the taxonomy term ids into the block.
On May 26th 2011 a new EU originated law came into effect that requires website owners to make significant changes to their sites and may fundamentally change the whole web browsing and shopping experience for everybody.This Cookie Law is amended privacy legislation that requires websites to obtain informed consent from visitors before they can store or retrieve any information on a computer or any other web connected device.

Cookie Control does just that, presenting users with clear information on whether cookies are present, linking to your privacy policy (where you should have specific information about what cookies are in use), and advising users on how to adjust browser settings and what cookies mean for them.
