Show div if cookie is set

I'm using js-cookie to set a cookie. I've got a div which is set to display: none; and if the cookie is set I want to change it to display:block; .

The HTML:

<div id="cookie-hide">
  <p>test</p>
 </div>

The CSS:

<style>
#cookie-hide {display: none;}
</style>

This is the JS:

<script>
function checkCookie() {
    var user= Cookies.get('video')
    if (user != "") {
      document.getElementById("cookie-hide").style.display = "block";
    }
}

Cookies.set('video', 'play');
</script>

I can see in chrome that the cookie has been set but the div still doesn't display. Any ideas what's wrong with the code?

The code is fine. You are not calling the function anywhere.

function checkCookie() {
    var user= Cookies.get('video')
    if (user != "") {
        document.getElementById("cookie-hide").style.display = "block";
    }
}

Cookies.set('video', 'play');

checkCookie();         // <----- This line.

Do it as:

if (user == "") {
var x = document.getElementById("cookie-hide");
x.style.display = "block";
}

This should work
