function setCookie(name, value, days) {   var date = new Date();   date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));   var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();   document.cookie = name + "=" + value +                     expires + "; path=/"; }

To add a new cookie for your web site, set document.cookie = "name=value; expireDate; path;";. The expire date needs to be a date set using .toGMTString(), and the path is the path on your web site that the cookie applies to.
