For Prestashop 1.6 its different now, there is no $smarty and no $cookie, all in Context.

How to access the Context?

From inside a Controller subclass, an AdminTab subclass or a Module subclass, the Context should be called with this shortcut: $this->context.

From anywhere else, you can get the Context instance by calling Context::getContext().

Old way 

$cookie->id_lang;

New way 

$this->context->language->id;

More about this in docs here http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Using+the+Context+Object#UsingtheContextObject-WhatistheContextobject?

Prestashop maintains a global $cookie variable which is an object of type Cookie. As long as you're bootstrapping Prestashop in your external index.php file, then you should be able to access it:

function myfunction()
{
  global $cookie;

  if ($cookie->isLogged)
    echo 'Here be dragons.';
}

Without knowing how you're accessing the Prestashop core to perform the login though it's hard to give specific advice...
