Easy cookie handling using jQuery.

Usage

• $.cookie('the_cookie');: return the value of the cookie
• $.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value');: set the value of a cookie
• $.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7, path: '/', domain: 'jquery.com', secure: true });: create a cookie with all available options.
• $.cookie('the_cookie', null);: delete a cookie by passing null as value. Keep in mind that you have to use the same path and domain used when the cookie was set.

Options

• expires: either an integer specifying the expiration date from now on in days or a Date object. If a negative value is specified (e.g. a date in the past), the cookie will be deleted. If set to null or omitted, the cookie will be a session cookie and will not be retained when the the browser exits.
• path: the value of the path atribute of the cookie (default: path of page that created the cookie).
• domain: the value of the domain attribute of the cookie (default: domain of page that created the cookie).
• secure: if true, the secure attribute of the cookie will be set and the cookie transmission will require a secure protocol (like HTTPS).
