How to set cookie in Django and then render template?

Question

I want to set a cookie inside a view and then have that view render a template. As I understand it, this is the way to set a cookie:

def index(request):
            


        

Answer 1

The accepted answer sets the cookie before the template is rendered. This works.

response = HttpResponse()
response.set_cookie("cookie_name", "cookie_value")
response.write(template.render(context))
