I have this bit of code below that essentially on click of an a tag copies the text of an input field to the clipboard and then opens a new tab where the user pastes the text.

This all works completely fine UNTIL the cookie is set. I have tried it with testing 10 of the different a tags before the cookie is set.

Once the cookie is set, the new tab will still open, the input field I am copying the text from still updates, but if I paste into notepad or the window that opens, it will be whatever was copied last and not the most up to date. If I remove the cookie and reload everything goes back to how it should function.

So I am not sure why the cookie being set would stop the clipboard from updating.

 //Set Cookie Function
 function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
    const d = new Date();
    d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
    let expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
    document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}

//Get Cookie Function
function getCookie(name) {
    var dc = document.cookie;
    var prefix = name + "=";
    var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
    if (begin == -1) {
        begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
        if (begin != 0) return null;
    }
    else
    {
        begin += 2;
        var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
        if (end == -1) {
        end = dc.length;
        }
    }
    // because unescape has been deprecated, replaced with decodeURI
    //return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
    return decodeURI(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
} 

$(document).on('click', '.pop-top ul li a', function() {
    var copiedRole = $(this);
    $('#copyText').val(copiedRole.text());
    navigator.clipboard.writeText($('#copyText').val());
    
    var acknowledgeExists = getCookie("acknowledge");

    if(acknowledgeExists == null) {
        $('#copyMessage, .frosted').addClass('show');
    } else {
        window.open('[redacted]', '_blank');
    }
});

//Create Cookies
$("#acknowledge").on('click', function() {
    $('#copyMessage, .frosted').removeClass('show');
    window.open('[redacted]', '_blank');

    if($('#never').is(':checked')) {
        setCookie("acknowledge", "yes", 1);
    }
});
