if i undestand what your saying and you have one cookie variable that is a string then this is how you would access (replace all instances of VARNAME with your cookie variable name):
$string=$_COOKIE[VARNAME]; //copies the cookie variable to a string
$array=explode(",",$string); //seperates the string into array elements
then you have an array with each element, if you want to access those then run a foreach:
foreach($array as $element) {
//do stuff
}
