Cookie

Creates a new [struct@Cookie] with the given attributes.

Use [method@Cookie.set_secure] and [method@Cookie.set_http_only] if you need to set those attributes on the returned cookie.

If domain starts with ".", that indicates a domain (which matches the string after the ".", or any hostname that has domain as a suffix). Otherwise, it is a hostname and must match exactly.

max_age is used to set the "expires" attribute on the cookie; pass -1 to not include the attribute (indicating that the cookie expires with the current session), 0 for an already-expired cookie, or a lifetime in seconds. You can use the constants soup_cookie_max_age_one_hour, soup_cookie_max_age_one_day, soup_cookie_max_age_one_week and soup_cookie_max_age_one_year (or multiples thereof) to calculate this value. (If you really care about setting the exact time that the cookie will expire, use [ method@Cookie.set_expires].)

As of version 3.4.0 the default value of a cookie's same-site-policy is soup_same_site_policy_lax.

Parameters:

name	cookie name
value	cookie value
domain	cookie domain or hostname
path	cookie path, or null
max_age	max age of the cookie, or -1 for a session cookie

Returns:

a new Cookie.
