Issue in cookies while loading in browser

I am trying to implement a webpage with node.js using hbs engine and express framework... after login i m trying to catch cookies and check in one page as authentication.

app.get('/path', function (req, res) {

var cookie= req.cookies.UserId;
    if (cookie != ''||cookie !=null)
      {
    //doing somethig
      }
    else 
      {
     res.redirect("some url");
      }
    }

but when i m giving direct url without login this condition get failed and it is not checking for cookies. Initialy cookie is null only still it is failed to redirect..what is the solution for this?

Before u redirect try to set maxAge as your domain with your cookie.

Then 

var cookie= req.cookies.UserId;

Example Refer Set cookie

Take cookie Refer

http://expressjs.com/api.html#req.cookies
