// hours: An optional number that specifies the number of hours from now
// that the cookie should expire.
// path: An optional string that specifies the cookie path attribute.
// domain: An optional string that specifies the cookie domain attribute.
// secure: An optional Boolean value that, if true, requests a secure cookie.
