Each cookie must have a key,value pair defining the cookie. In addition, there are optional fields defining the validity of cookie requests:
-
expires - gives the day and time in GMT up to which the browser should save the cookie.
-
path - sets the subset of the document space (URL's) on the server for which the cookie is valid.
-
domain - sets the domain for which the cookie is valid. Domains must have at least one ".", i.e. they can't be very general.
-
secure - setting this attribute requires that the cookie only be sent via a secure channel, Netscape's secure server, SSL.
