All of you heard about “Cookies”. This is a way that web site remember some information about you in *.txt file located on your machine.

Here is how we create cookie in C#, this is code behibnd of aspx page.

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Create a new HttpCookie named "MyLastVisit".
        HttpCookie myHttpCookie = new HttpCookie("MyLastVisit", DateTime.Now.ToString());

        // By default, the HttpOnly property is set to false
        // unless specified otherwise in configuration.

        //rename Cookie
        myHttpCookie.Name = "MyHttpCookie";
        Response.AppendCookie(myHttpCookie);

        // Show the name of the cookie.
        Response.Write(myHttpCookie.Name);

        // Create an HttpOnly cookie.
        HttpCookie myHttpOnlyCookie = new HttpCookie("MyLastVisit", DateTime.Now.ToString());

        // Setting the HttpOnly value to true, makes
        // this cookie accessible only to ASP.NET.

        myHttpOnlyCookie.HttpOnly = true;
        //rename Cookie
        myHttpOnlyCookie.Name = "MyHttpOnlyCookie";
        Response.AppendCookie(myHttpOnlyCookie);

        // Show the name of the HttpOnly cookie.
        Response.Write(myHttpOnlyCookie.Name);
    }
}

and this is java script code which reads cookie:

<script>

    // This code returns the cookie name.
    alert("Getting HTTP Cookie");
    alert(getCookie("MyHttpCookie"));

    // Because the cookie is set to HttpOnly,
    // this returns null.
    alert("Getting HTTP Only Cookie");
    alert(getCookie("MyHttpOnlyCookie"));

</script>
