s.Util.cookieWrite() in AppMeasurement and the Analytics extension custom code editor

Call the s.Util.cookieWrite() method to set a cookie to a desired value.

s.Util.cookieWrite("example_cookie","Example cookie value")

An optional third argument is available that determines when the cookie expires. Cookies set using s.Util.cookieWrite() expire at the end of the browser session by default.

// Set a cookie with an expiration 6 months from now
var cookieDate = new Date();
cookieDate.setMonth(cookieDate.getMonth() + 6);
s.Util.cookieWrite("example_cookie","Example 6-month cookie",cookieDate);

Examples

You can instantiate a variable upon success of writing a cookie. This variable is a boolean.

var success = s.Util.cookieWrite("example_cookie","Example cookie value");
if (success) {
  console.log("Cookie written successfully");
} else {
  console.log("Cookie write failed");
}
