You may want to start with the most simple variant: a single session
cookie consisting from a name only (with will be used to hold the
value). Such cookie can be only one per domain and it exists only until
you have your browser open.
function setCookie(yourValue) {
document.cookie = escape(yourValue);
}
function getCookie() {
return unescape(document.cookie);
}
Later you can jump on some well documented cookie library to have
multiple cookies and persistent cookies (remaining on your computer
until some fixed date). For example:
