I have a jQuery-based web app. My requirement is fairly simple: I want to use jQuery to find out if the user has enabled or disabled cookies in their web browser. I'm aware that there's a plugin available which can be used to create/retrieve/delete/update a cookie. But, is there a way jQuery can detect the user agent's settings?

If this is the case, then you can actually check if a user has enabled cookies or not using the following straightforward jQuery snippet: $(document). ready(function() { var dt = new Date(); dt. setSeconds(dt.
To check whether a setting a cookie is enabled in the browser, you can use the cookieEnabled property in the window. navigator global object in JavaScript. The property will return a Boolean true if cookie enabled and return false if not enabled.
At the top right corner, click Settings and more , then choose Settings. Select Cookies and site permissions. Click Manage and delete cookies and site data, then turn ON Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended). Select JavaScript under Site permissions, then turn ON Allowed (recommended).
You don't need jQuery for that, you can use vanilla Javascript:
function are_cookies_enabled() { var cookieEnabled = (navigator.cookieEnabled) ? true : false; if (typeof navigator.cookieEnabled == "undefined" && !cookieEnabled) { document.cookie="testcookie"; cookieEnabled = (document.cookie.indexOf("testcookie") != -1) ? true : false; } return (cookieEnabled); } http://sveinbjorn.org/cookiecheck
