The answer is easy, but this is sounding a bit like homework... Post the
code you have and we'll help more.

As a hint, use foreach to iterate the $_COOKIE array, look at the key for
each item and compare it using either substr or regular expressions.

That should have given you enough terms to Google your way through it.

Cheers,
