/**
* Creates a cookie, a small amount of information sent by a servlet to a Web browser, saved by the browser, and later
* sent back to the server. A cookie's value can uniquely identify a client, so cookies are commonly used for session
* management.
*
* A cookie has a name, a single value, and optional attributes such as a comment, path and domain qualifiers, a maximum
* age, and a version number. Some Web browsers have bugs in how they handle the optional attributes, so use them
* sparingly to improve the interoperability of your servlets.
*
* The servlet sends cookies to the browser by using the {@link HttpServletResponse#addCookie} method, which adds fields
* to HTTP response headers to send cookies to the browser, one at a time. The browser is expected to support 50 cookies
* for each domain, 3000 cookies total, and may limit cookie size to 4 KiB each.
*
* The browser returns cookies to the servlet by adding fields to HTTP request headers. Cookies can be retrieved from a
* request by using the {@link HttpServletRequest#getCookies} method. Several cookies might have the same name but
* different path attributes.
*
* Cookies affect the caching of the Web pages that use them. HTTP 1.0 does not cache pages that use cookies created
* with this class. This class does not support the cache control defined with HTTP 1.1.
*
* This class supports both the RFC 2109 and the RFC 6265 specifications. By default, cookies are created using RFC
* 6265.
