This tag can't have a body.

The attributes for this tag are fixed. Except for the following attributes no other attributes are allowed.

Name	Type	Required	Description
domain	string	No	Domain in which cookie is valid and to which cookie content can be sent from the user's system. By default, the cookie is only available to the server that set it. Use this attribute to make the cookie available to other servers. Must start with a period. If the value is a subdomain, the valid domain is all domain names that end with this string. This attribute sets the available subdomains on the site upon which the cookie can be used.
expires	any	No	Schedules the expiration of a cookie variable. Can be specified as a date (as in, 10/09/97), number of days (as in, 10, 100), "Now", or "Never". Using Now effectively deletes the cookie from the client browser.
name	string	Yes	The name of the cookie variable.
path	string	No	URL, within a domain, to which the cookie applies; typically a directory. Only pages in this path can use the cookie. By default, all pages on the server that set the cookie can access the cookie. path = "/services/login"
secure	boolean	No	Yes or No. Specifies that the variable must transmit securely. If the browser does not support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security, the cookie is not sent.
value	string	No	The value assigned to the cookie variable.
