These are much much better references than w3schools (the most awful web reference ever made):
- How cookies work (quirksmode.org)
- MDN document.cookie
Examples derived from these references:
// sets the cookie cookie1
document.cookie = 'cookie1=test; expires=Sun, 1 Jan 2023 00:00:00 UTC; path=/'
// sets the cookie cookie2 (cookie1 is *not* overwritten)
document.cookie = 'cookie2=test; expires=Sun, 1 Jan 2023 00:00:00 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.
