To get a cookie that has been stored on a client, you first collect all the available cookies using the getCookies method. Then, you look for the name of the cookie you want in the returned array of cookies. You deploy the getName method to find the cookie; once you find the cookie, you deploy the getValue method.

Cookies [] cookies = request.getCookies(); 
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; ++i) { 
 if("votes".equals(cookies[i].getName())) { 
  ... cookies[i].getValue() ... 
}}
