Instructions

1. Create a new snippet called CookieMonster and paste the contents of CookieMonster.txt into it. 2. Call the snippet where you wish to interact with a cookie. Examples: [!CookieMonster? &cookie_name=`yourCookieName` &message=`yourMessage` !] The above call sets a cookie called "yourCookieName" and displays a custom message in a chunk called "yourMessage" after the cookie is set. It will use the default template for setting cookies and will "redirect" to the current page after the form is submitted. [!CookieMonster? &cookie_name=`yourCookieName` &message=`yourMessage` &noSet=`1` !] The above call does not set a cookie. Instead, it displays a custom message in a chunk called "yourMessage" if the "yourCookieName" cookie has been set. This is most useful if you have already set a cookie on another page and only want to display a custom message or if you are interacting with a cookie that already exists. In either case the cookie could have been set previously by CookieMonster or it could have been set by a different snippet or script. Note: If you wish to use your own custom form to set a cookie, you can put it in a custom chunk and call it by using &setCookieTpl parameter. Look at the setCookieTpl_example.txt file to see a simple example. You can use the [+CookieMonsterName+] placeholder in your custom template. For more examples look at the comments at the top of the CookieMonster.txt file.
