According to this MSDN article, you have to test by writing then reading the cookie. If you cannot read the cookie you wrote, you assume that cookies are turned off in the browser. Then, you can display a message to the user about the problem.

Read the section: Determining Whether a Browser Accepts Cookies

Try Javascript Navigator cookieEnabled Property:

Apart from that refer this thread as well:
