    public function sample1()
    {
        return dd( Cookie::get('name') );
    }

    public function sample2($id)
    {
        if (Cookie::get('name')) {
            $data   = array();
            $data[] = Cookie::get('name');

@masandikdev you return a mixed value, which can be an array or int. so you have to check if the value from the cookie is an array or int.

quick and dirty:

public function sample2($id)
    {
        if ($cookie_data = Cookie::get('name')) {

            if(!is_array($cookie_data))
            {
                $data = [];
                $data[] = $cookie_data;
            }else{
                $data = $cookie_data;
            }
            
            array_push($data, $id);
        } else {
            $data   = $id;
        }
