No, you have the wrong assumption about a view method's signature. The first argument is always the request, as in django.http.HttpRequest or more specifically, it's subclass django.core.handlers.WSGIRequest in the case of WSGI.

You're not writing a WSGI handler (who has environ as first argument). A view is two stops down and to give you the complete onion:

WSGI Handler -> Middleware -> view -> Middleware -> WSGI Handler

 

Anyway, the cookies are at request.COOKIES as per docs.
