I've set a cookie using PHP,
setcookie("redirect", $this->currentPage(), time() + 31536000);
but I want to retrieve the value of this cookie using javascript when a certain link is clicked. How can I do that?

Yes its possible.
Try this to read cookie:
function getCookie(c_name) {
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++) {
x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
if (x==c_name){
return unescape(y);
}
}
}
// get cookie foo
var foo = getCookie('foo');
Try this to set a cookie:
/**
* Sets a cookie
*/
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays) {
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}
// set a cookie 'foo=bar' for 3 days
setCookie('foo', 'bar', 3);
