/**
*
* 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 Version 0 (by Netscape) and Version 1
* (by RFC 2109) cookie specifications. By default, cookies are
* created using Version 0 to ensure the best interoperability.
