You can read cookies from the request via the request.COOKIES dictionary. See the documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.COOKIES
You won't find them in an environment variable, which is shared process-wide and across all requests, because they are bound to each request. This is not a CGI script, so those HTTP_* environment variables you seem to expect won't be here.
