Title: Cookie-based setting not applying Last modified: February 10, 2022 --- # Cookie-based setting not applying * Resolved [almirdzankovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almirdzankovic/) * (@almirdzankovic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-based-setting-not-applying/) * Hello! * I am making a setting in my WooCommerce website where the user can choose between a table view and a grid view of the products. I use cookies for this. The setting works fine when clicking on it; but when changing page, when there is pagination, it doesn’t always retain the selected view. * I set the cookie like this: * `document.cookie = "Techsaker_se_vyval=Rutnätsvy";` * And then, in my content-product.php file I check it like this: * ``` // If table view not set to grid, show table view if (($_COOKIE['Techsaker_se_vyval']) != 'Rutnätsvy') { ``` * It seems the cookie value isn’t retained. * Additionally, it will sometimes also show the table view on one page of a product category, and then the grid view on a different page. * Does anyone know why this could be happening? * Thanks! - This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). - This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcookie-based-setting-not-applying%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [almirdzankovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almirdzankovic/) * (@almirdzankovic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-based-setting-not-applying/#post-15353668) * I have now observed that if I print the cookie value to the console with console. log, the value is often different from when I print it from the php with: * `var_dump($_COOKIE['Techsaker_se_vyval']);` * Right now for example when testing this, they show conflicting values on page 1 of my shop startpage and the same values on page/2/. And I can only change the value succesfully on page 2. * Now after further tests, I have observed that the JavaScript and php sometimes do show the same value also on page 1, but even then, I can’t change the view on page 1. The JavaScript value in the console sometimes changes, sometimes not even that. However, in a product category I have seen that I could change the view on both page 1 and and page 2. * It’s always the php value that determines what view is output. Why isn’t it always registering the same value as the JavaScript? * [Igor H](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ihereira/) * (@ihereira) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-based-setting-not-applying/#post-15354375) * Hello, * Sorry to hear that.

Here you can consult our server recommendations: [https://woocommerce.com/document/server-requirements/](https://woocommerce.com/document/server-requirements/). * Custom coding falls outside the scope of our support policy – [https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/), but you can also visit the `#developers` channel of the [WooCommerce Community Slack](https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/). We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, as well. * Cheers. * Thread Starter [almirdzankovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almirdzankovic/) * (@almirdzankovic) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-based-setting-not-applying/#post-15360066) * Hello! * Thank you for the information. I use this web hosting plan to make websites, but i’ll take a look at the recommendations.
