ASP is very powerful while managing cookies. It's so easy to create a cookie. You may use response object and cookie property to create it. Again request object used to retrieve cookie. Cookies must be written before header sent to client by server. This means you should write and send cookie befre any HTML opening tag.

Example:

Create cookie:

strCookieName =  "Acookie"

strCookieValue =  "I am a cookie"

'let's create it now

response.cookie(strCookieName) = strCookieValue

Retrive value from cookie

strValueFromCookie = request.cookie(strCookieName)

That's all. A cookie dies noamlly after closing browser. You may edit a cookie lifetime by passing a value to expires property.

Response.Cookies(strCookieName).Expires=date()+10

This cookie will be avalaible for 10 days.
