Django Cookie

A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored in the client's browser. It is used to store the user's data in a file for the specified time.

Cookie has some expiry date and time and it gets removed automatically when it expires. Django provides some built-in methods to set and fetch the cookie.

The set_cookie() method is used to set a cookie and the get() method is used to get the cookie.

The request.COOKIES['key'] array is also used to get the cookie values.

Django Cookie Example

// views.py


from django.shortcuts import render  
from django.http import HttpResponse  
  
def setcookie(request):  
    response = HttpResponse("Cookie Set")  
    response.set_cookie('java-tutorial', 'javatpoint.com')  
    return response  
def getcookie(request):  
    tutorial  = request.COOKIES['java-tutorial']  
    return HttpResponse("java tutorials @: "+  tutorial);

Now we will specify the URLs to access these functions:

// urls.py


from django.contrib import admin  
from django.urls import path  
from myapp import views  
urlpatterns = [  
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),  
    path('index/', views.index),  
    path('scookie',views.setcookie),  
    path('gcookie',views.getcookie)  
]

Start Server

$ python3 manage.py runserver

After starting the server, we will set the cookie by using localhost:8000/scookie URL.

And we can get a cookie by using localhost:8000/gcookie URL. It will show the set cookie to the browser.
