Class Cookie
Object
dw.web.Cookie
Represents an HTTP cookie used for storing information on a client browser. Cookies are passed along in the HTTP request and can be retrieved by calling dw.system.Request.getHttpCookies().

Cookies must comply with RFC6265. We recommend you use only printable ASCII characters without separators, such as a comma or equal sign. If JSON is used as a cookie value, it must be encoded.

Note: this class allows access to sensitive security-related data. Pay special attention to PCI DSS v3. requirements 2, 4, and 12.

See Request.getHttpCookies().
