Cookies not showing up in environ

[Calvin Spealman]

You can read cookies from the request via the request.COOKIES dictionary.
See the documentation here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.COOKIES

You won't find them in an environment variable, which is shared
process-wide and across all requests, because they are bound to each
request. This is not a CGI script, so those HTTP_* environment variables
you seem to expect won't be here.
