ASP Cookies Collection

The Cookies collection is used to set or retrieve the value of a cookie. If the cookie does not exist, it creates it and assigns it the specified value.

Note: The Response.Cookies command must be placed before the <html> tag.

Syntax

Parameter Description
name Required. The name of the cookie.
value Required (for the Response.Cookies command). The value of the cookie.
attribute Optional. Specifies information about the cookie. Can be one of the following parameters: Domain - Write-only. The cookie is sent only to requests made to this domain. <br> Expires - Write-only. The expiration date of the cookie. If no date is specified, the cookie expires when the session ends. <br> HasKeys - Read-only. Specifies whether the cookie has keys (this is the only attribute that can be used with the Request.Cookies command). <br> Path - Write-only. If set, the cookie is sent only to requests made to this path. If not set, the application path is used. <br> Secure - Write-only. Indicates whether the cookie is secure.
key Optional. Specifies the key where the value is assigned.

Examples

The "Response.Cookies" command is used to create a cookie or set its value:

In the above code, we created a cookie named "firstname" and assigned it the value "Alex".

You can also set attributes for the cookie, such as its expiration time:

Now, the cookie named "firstname" has the value "Alex" and it will expire on the user's computer on May 10, 2002.

The "Request.Cookies" command is used to retrieve the value of a cookie.

In the following example, we retrieve the value of the cookie "firstname" and display it on the page:

A cookie can contain a collection of multiple values. We call this a cookie with keys.

In the following example, we create a cookie collection named "user". The "user" cookie contains keys with user information:

The following code reads all cookies sent by the server to the user. Note that we use the HasKeys property to check if the cookie has keys:

Output:

user:firstname=John
