A cookie is a chunk of data that the website tells the browser to store on the visitors machine.

If the browser has cookies disabled, it will never store a cookie, and therefore nothing (javascript or otherwise) has access to something that is nonexistent.

I'm assuming you mean by the browser here. I know the browser can disable sending cookies, but what about just receiving them? Does a browser disabling cookies mean that JS in the page has no access to the cookies sent in the HTTP header from the server?
