Answers.Text: Thanks, Brad. I opted instead for a simple plugin with a Twig extension that lets me get a cookie for a specific key, so everything else remains secure.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-02-19)
  
  We have a Laravel app that sets a cookie:
  
  ```
  public function make($name, $value, $minutes = 0, $path = null, $domain = null, $secure = false, $httpOnly = true)
  {
      list($path, $domain) = $this->getPathAndDomain($path, $domain);
  
      $time = ($minutes == 0) ? 0 : time() + ($minutes * 60);
  
      return new Cookie($name, $value, $time, $path, $domain, $secure, $httpOnly);
  }
  
  ```
  
  The values passed are as follows:
  
  ```
  array (size=7)
      0 => string 'imph_auth' (length=9)
      1 => string 'username_0 username_0' (length=9)
      2 => int 2628000
      3 => null
      4 => null
      5 => boolean false
      6 => boolean true
  
  ```
  
  I've tried to retrieve that cookie in a Craft template as follows:
  
  ```
  craft.request.getCookie('imph_auth')
  
  ```
  
  However I get null when I know that it's been set (I can browse to a Laravel template on the same domain and get the cookie).
  
  I note the JavaScript warning in the Craft docs but this is set in PHP, however I can see the **getCookies()** method of the **CookieCollection** class runs each cookie through **craft()->security->validateData()** and fails validation.
  
  Is there any way I can get around this without resorting to my own PHP in the template or a custom plugin?
