Storing a Cookie

The key work is carried out by the SetCookie method of the %CSP.ResponseOpens in a new tab object. Like the %session and %request objects we used earlier, %response is provided automatically by Caché. It is used to control the server's response to the browser, other than the actual page contents.

Here, we have given the cookie a name of “CacheCinemaLastCategory”, a value equal to the ID of the FilmCategory object associated with the film in the user's order, an expiration date specified by the variable Expires (which we'll define in a moment), and a path of “/”, which makes this cookie available to all Web pages at our site.
