Read and Write Cookie in Symfony2

Question

I want to store some information in the local browser cookie. After hours looking for a nice tutorial, I managed to store some data in a non-session cookie:

Answer 1

Example how to use Cookies and Session:

getRequest()->getSession();
        $session->set('test', 1);

        // Get session value
        $value = $session->get('test');

        // Set cookie value
        $response = new Response();
        $cookie = new Cookie('test', 1, time()+3600);
        $response->headers->setCookie($cookie);

        // Get cookie value
        $this->getRequest()->cookies->get('test');
    }
}
