How to change the default value?

Question

JavaScript

The site has a news display toggle that adds or removes the colum right class. I want this class to be disabled by default on all devices

var hide_side_trig = 0;
    var hide_side =  $.cookie("hide_side");
    if (hide_side == "1") {
        hide_side_trig = 1;
        $("#colum_right").hide();
        $('.hide_side').addClass("active");
        $(".users_news, .boxes_news").addClass("long");
        $("#colum_left").animate({"width":"1230px"}, function(){
         $(".short_news").each(function(){
             $(this).css({"width":"292px"});
          });
           $('.mas_news').masonry({
              itemSelector: '.short_news',
              singleMode: false,
              isResizable: true,
              "gutter": 20,
              isAnimated: true,
                  animationOptions: { 
                  queue: false, 
                  duration: 500 
              }
           });
           $.cookie("hide_side", "1", {
             expires : 360,           //expires in 10 days
             path    : '/',          //The value of the path attribute of the cookie 
             domian  : 'mexalim.com.ua'
          });
        });
    }       


    $('.hide_side').click(function(){
      $("#colum_right").fadeToggle();
      $(this).toggleClass("active");
      if (hide_side_trig == 0) {
        hide_side_trig = 1;
        $(".users_news, .boxes_news").addClass("long");
        $("#colum_left").animate({"width":"1230px"}, function(){
         $(".short_news").each(function(){
             $(this).css({"width":"292px"});
          });
           $('.mas_news').masonry({
              itemSelector: '.short_news',
              singleMode: false,
              isResizable: true,
              "gutter": 20,
              isAnimated: true,
                  animationOptions: { 
                  queue: false, 
                  duration: 500 
              }
           });
           $.cookie("hide_side", "1", {
             expires : 360,           //expires in 10 days
             path    : '/',          //The value of the path attribute of the cookie 
             domian  : 'mexalim.com.ua'
          });
           $('.boxes_slider').bxSlider({
            slideSelector:'.boxes_slider_item',
            pagerCustom:'#bsi_nav_liks',
            controls:false
          }); 
        });
      } else {
        hide_side_trig = 0;
        $(".users_news, .boxes_news").removeClass("long");
        $("#colum_left").animate({"width":"910px"}, function(){
         $(".short_news").each(function(){
             $(this).css({"width":"289px"});
          });

          $('.mas_news').masonry({
            itemSelector: '.short_news',
            singleMode: false,
            isResizable: true,
            "gutter": 20,
            isAnimated: true,
                animationOptions: { 
                queue: false, 
                duration: 500 
             }
          });
          $.cookie("hide_side", "2", {
             expires : 360,           //expires in 10 days
             path    : '/',          //The value of the path attribute of the cookie 
             domian  : 'mexalim.com.ua'
          });
          $('.boxes_slider').bxSlider({
            slideSelector:'.boxes_slider_item',
            pagerCustom:'#bsi_nav_liks',
            controls:false
          }); 
        });
      }
      
    });

I tried to change the rules on the computer, there is no on the phone. var hide_side = $.cookie("hide_side");var hide_side = 1;

Answer 1

Well, remove the condition altogether and just always do what's inside it if (hide_side == "1") {
