Can I access a HTTP cookie in my webview natively from Android?

Question

I'm writing a Cordova app and I would like to access its HTTP secure cookie from a plugin. I want to encrypt / disable it until the user enters a valid pin.

All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The way I would do it would be to enable/disable the cookies for the entire application:

CookieManager mCookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
mCookieManager.setAcceptCookie(false); //disables cookies for the WebView until the user enters a correct pin

if(getUsersPin()) { //getUsersPin() gets the pin from the user
    mCookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
}
