Examples

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', 'myvalue') %}
{# Sets a cookie to expire at end of session. #}

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', 'myvalue', now | date_modify("+1 hour").timestamp ) %}
{# Sets a cookie to expire in an hour. #}

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', 'myvalue', now | date_modify("+30 days").timestamp ) %}
{# Sets a cookie to expire in 30 days. #}

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', 'myvalue', '', '/' ) %}
{# Cookie available for entire domain. #}

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', 'myvalue', '', '/foo/' ) %}
{# Cookie available within /foo/ directory and sub-directories. #}

###Retrieving cookies###

{{ craft.lj_cookies.get( NAME ) }}
{# Note that we're using 'get' to retrieve. #}

Example

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('user', 'Lewis', '', '/') %}
{# Set the cookie using 'set' #}

<p>Howdy, {{ craft.lj_cookies.get('user') }}</p>
{# Retrieve the cookie's value using 'get' #}

###Deleting cookies###

{% do craft.lj_cookies.set('myname', '') %}
{# Delete a cookie by setting an empty value #}
