Answer 1

You can use split to get the values separated. You should know that doing this is not encouraged because if the format changes, your code will be broken. But if you really need to parse that string, you could try this:

var parts = $scope.cookie.split("|"); 
$scope.newUser.firstName = parts[0];
$scope.newUser.lastName = parts[1];
$scope.newUser.email = parts[2];
// ... etc with all the other values, keeping in mind the index
