How can I get cookies in Tampermonkey?

Question

I'm writing a script using Tampermonkey. I need to somehow get the cookie value (with the session id) from the browser.

This is not a duplicate of the question it was marked as a duplicate of. Specifically, this is for Tampermonkey. The other question is for jQuery. — Dan Overlander, Sep 12 '17 at 18:55

You can use COOKIE plugin.

To create a cookie:

$.cookie("example", "foo");

Get a cookie:

$.cookie("example")

Delete a cookie:

$.removeCookie("example");

as community wiki pointed out here.

To use that plugin in Tampermonkey, first you need to load jQuery and then add this plugin:

// @require http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js
// @require https://raw.githubusercontent.com/js-cookie/js-cookie/master/src/js.cookie.js

But how to install it into Tampermonkey? – Messon Dec 04 '16 at 17:16
Are you using jQuery? You need jquery first to use that plugin. Also, I would recommend to edit your questions's title. – Mert Metin Dec 04 '16 at 17:21
Yes, I'm using jQuery. And Tampermonkey. – Messon Dec 04 '16 at 17:28

When I want to set that cookie as a var, i just go and use: `var x = Cookies.get("y");`? – Messon Dec 04 '16 at 17:40
no you say $.cookie("example", "foo"); – Mert Metin Dec 04 '16 at 17:46
But I cannot create a session cookie on site i don't own by myself, or can I? – Messon Dec 04 '16 at 17:48
This syntax doesn't work anymore. the api is Cookies i.e. Cookies.get() – Jay Jul 17 '18 at 21:44
