in an extension you normaly didn't ask cookies but PHP-variables, as TYPO3
is PHP.

BE-User:    $GLOBALS['BE_USER']->user
FE-User:    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->user

if an user is logged in there are fields with values, especially
...['uid']!=0.


if you are using typoscript and want to decide on BE- and FE-user you can
use these conditions:

[globalVar = TSFE : beUserLogin > 0]
# BE-user logged in
[global]

[loginUser = fe_users-uid1, fe_users-uid2, ...]
# any of these FE-users is logged in
[global]

[loginUser = *]
# any FE-user is logged in
[global]

[usergroup = *]
# any FE-user is logged in (because every FE-user is at least in one
usergroup)
[global]

[usergroup = 1,2]
# a FE-user belonging to these groups is logged in
[global]
