By default cookie-universal will try to parse to JSON, however you can disable this functionality in several ways:

Disable globally

Disable from the plugin options:

{
  modules: [
    ['cookie-universal-nuxt', { parseJSON: false }],
 ]
}

Disable globally on the fly

// nuxt middleware
export default ({ app }) => {
  app.$cookies.parseJSON = false
}
 
// client
this.$cookies.parseJSON = false

Disable on a specific get request

// nuxt middleware
export default ({ app }) => {
  app.$cookies.get('cookie-name', { parseJSON: false })
}
 
// client
this.$cookies.get('cookie-name', { parseJSON: false })
