/**
* 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 20 cookies for each Web server, 300 cookies total, and
* may limit cookie size to 4 KB 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.
