    cookies are stored in browser however design is evaluated at target end. I doubt we can get the cookies in the design or profile script.

    Hi @mohit_kbansal  did you get the chance to check this help article : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/recommendations/recommendations-design/customizing-a-template.html?lang=en

     

    To get the list of  cookies for the request you can try this command : $cookies.all

      @ambikatewari_atci 

      I have checked this but its does not have any information about cookie.

       

      Also $cookies.all or $cookies is throwing parsing error

          Dear @mohit_kbansal ,

          Is your question on reading a cookie in Velocity something to do with Target? I am not sure.

          Reading and writing cookies in Velocity code should be possible (link) if Velocity Template supports it.

          Target would not have any docs related to it since the ask is related to Velocity; Target just supports Velocity's logic and syntax in recommendations.
