Setting cookie using javascript and reading it on server side

Question

I am using cookie and I am setting its value like this,

document.cookie = 'province=Alberta; expires=Fri, 3 Dec 2014 20:47:11 UTC; path=/'

And I am trying to read it on my server side like following

if (Response.Cookies["province"].Value != null)

But the Response.Cookies["province"].Value is giving me null.

What may the reason for this?

Surprising that search engine you are using did not give any links. Consider Bing - C# read cookie. (I work for Microsoft, so mentioning Bing, C# and MSDN could be considered advertisement, in this case use Google link - to search google.com/search?q=c%23+read+cookie ) — Alexei Levenkov

You need to look in the request, not the response. The request is what is sent to the server. The response is what you send to the client. For example:

string cookieValue = string.Empty;

if (Request.Cookies["province"] != null)
{
    cookieValue = Request.Cookies["province"].Value.ToString();
}
