if(isset($_REQUEST['id'])) {
    setcookie('loader',$_REQUEST['id'],time()+60*60*24*365, '/');   
} else {
    setcookie('loader','',time()-3600, '/');
    unset($_COOKIE['loader']);          
}


if(isset($_COOKIE['loader']) && $_COOKIE['loader'] != "") {     
    echo $_COOKIE['loader'];
} else {
   echo "no cookie found !";
}

Edit2:

If you get this error 'Undefined Index' that means that your $_GET['id'] isn't set properly. Make sure you've set the $_GET['id']; when setting the cookie.

$loader = $_GET['id'];
$expire=time()+60*60*24*365;

if(isset($_GET['id'])){
setcookie("loader", $loader, $expire, '/');
}else{
echo 'no cookie set';

Edit:

when you've set the cookie you first have to refresh the page BEFORE you read it. otherwise the cookie isn't sent in the header.

Just add a path to your cookie like this:

$loader = $_GET['id'];
$expire=time()+60*60*24*365;
setcookie("loader", $loader, $expire, '/');

NOTE: I've added the '/'

Hope it helps.
