Question

I know how to write/create cookies in JavaScript.........................................................

//Create the cookies
document.cookie = \"Name=\" +          


        

Answer 1

These are much *much* better references than w3schools (the most awful web reference ever made):

• http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.cookie

Examples derived from these references:

// sets the cookie cookie1
document.cookie =
 'cookie1=test; expires=Fri, 3 Aug 2001 20:47:11 UTC; path=/'

// sets the cookie cookie2 (cookie1 is *not* overwritten)
document.cookie =
 'cookie2=test; expires=Fri, 3 Aug 2001 20:47:11 UTC; path=/'

// remove cookie2
document.cookie = 'cookie2=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/'

The mozilla reference even has a nice cookie library you can use.
