Twisted IT paired

I've just had to use cookie in a banner, but the owner of the site placed the jQuery include after my include.
That's why I got my jQuery predefined and my .cookie() method disappeared.
Here is why I simply added jQuery.extend implementation in jQuery.cookie moethod and assigned it to a separate var.
This is a simple solution to get your code working without jQuery if it only depends on .cookie method.

jQcookie = function(key, value, options) {

    if (arguments.length > 1 && String(value) !== "[object Object]") {

        extendObject = function extend() {

            for (var i = 1; i < arguments.length; i++)

                for (var key in arguments[i])

                    if (arguments[i].hasOwnProperty(key))

                        arguments[0][key] = arguments[i][key];

            return arguments[0];

        }

        options = extendObject({}, options);

        if (value === null || value === undefined) {

            options.expires = -1;

        }

        if (typeof options.expires === 'number') {

            var days = options.expires, t = options.expires = new Date();

            t.setDate(t.getDate() + days);

        }

        value = String(value);

        return (document.cookie = [encodeURIComponent(key), '=', options.raw ? value : encodeURIComponent(value), options.expires ? '; expires=' + options.expires.toUTCString() : '', options.path ? '; path=' + options.path : '', options.domain ? '; domain=' + options.domain : '', options.secure ? '; secure' : ''].join(''));

    }

    options = value || {};

    var result, decode = options.raw ? function(s) {

        return s;

    } : decodeURIComponent;

    return (result = new RegExp('(?:^|; )' + encodeURIComponent(key) + '=([^;]*)').exec(document.cookie)) ? decode(result[1]) : null;

};
