As far as is understand, you want to persist some kind of state and
render some output based on the aforementioned state within one page
request/response cycle. This is not what client-side cookies are for;
they persist client-side state across several request/response cycles.
That is why your condition is true after reloading the page. What you're
trying to achieve should be done with TS registers (i.e. server-side
persistence).

Cheerio,
