    ASP and VBScript cookie creation:

    <%
    Response.Cookies("cookienamehere") = value
    Response.Cookies("cookienamehere").Expires = DATE + 180
    %>

    If the value is a number don't use "", but if it is text use "texthere".

    Second line sets the expired date. Above it is today + 180 days. So the cookie will expire in 180 days. Change this to + 7 for expire in one week.

    ASP and VBScript cookie retrieval:

    <% = Request.Cookies("cookienamehere") %>

    Put the above line into a hidden field in a form as the value and the script will insert the value of the cookie into the hidden field.

    You must be on a Windows server running asp to the above and name the file extension .asp.
