This problem has been solved before. Don't reinvent the wheel :)

I would advise you to read up on cookies: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html

The code below comes from that article.

function readCookie(name) {
    var nameEQ = name + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
    }
    return null;
}

console.log(readCookie('evnt_id'));  //9
console.log(readCookie('user'));     //13530767
