The Cookies collection is used to set or get the value of a cookie. If the cookie does not exist, it is created and assigned the specified value.
**Note:** The Response.Cookies command must be placed before the tag.

## Example
The "Response.Cookies" command is used to create a cookie or set the value of a cookie:
In the code above, we created a cookie named "firstname" and assigned it the value "Alex".
You can also set attributes for a cookie, such as setting the expiration date:
Now, the cookie named "firstname" has the value "Alex" and an expiration date of May 10, 2002, on the user's computer.
The "Request.Cookies" command is used to retrieve the value of a cookie.
In the following example, we retrieve the value of the cookie "firstname" and display it on the page:
Output:
Firstname=Alex
A cookie can contain a collection of multiple values. We call this a cookie having keys.
In the following example, we create a cookie collection named "user". The "user" cookie has keys containing information about the user:
The following code reads all the cookies the server has sent to the user. Note that we use the HasKeys attribute to check if a cookie has keys:

for each x in Request.Cookies
