>>> from http.cookies import SimpleCookie
>>> cookie = SimpleCookie()

>>> cookie
<SimpleCookie: cookie1='xxxyyyzzz' cookie2='abcdef'>
>>> {key: value.value  for key, value in cookie.items()}
{'cookie1': 'xxxyyyzzz', 'cookie2': 'abcdef'}

def parse_dict_cookies(cookies):
    result = {}
    for item in cookies.split(';'):
        item = item.strip()
        if not item:
            continue
        if '=' not in item:
            result[item] = None
            continue
        name, value = item.split('=', 1)
        result[name] = value
    return result
