Persistent cookie
Creating a persistent cookies requires more information than a session cookie and you must also provide an expiry date for the cookie. It is also necessary to encode the cookie text so that special characters (an equals sign or a space, for example) will not be lost in the process of reading or writing the cookie. Encoding and decoding the cookie is achieved using the JavaScript escape and unescape functions. Here's a sample page containing a persistent cookie which is used to change the background of the page. Click on the Sample link below to see the cookie in action, or the Code link to copy the code without having to type it all out yourself.
