you can try this:

    {
        var httpCookie = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["SessionUser"];
        if (httpCookie != null)
        {
            httpCookie["ID"] = sessionUser.ID.ToString();
            httpCookie["Name"] = sessionUser.Name;
            httpCookie["Email"] = sessionUser.Email;
            httpCookie["Phone"] = sessionUser.Phone;
            httpCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
        }

    }
