Parameters

WebVar

URL

The URL of the cookie. This parameter is extremely important and has operational as well as security implications. Do not proceed unless you are confident with cookies and cookie usage.

Name

The name of the cookie. This is distinct and different to the URL of the cookie.

Data

The actual cookie data used by the remote website.

 

Return Value

TRUE if the cookie creation suceeded, otherwise FALSE.

Example Code

No example code available. Creation of a cookie is purely based on the requirements of the website that uses it.
