# YUI Library Examples: Cookie: Simple Cookie Example

## Cookie: Simple Cookie Example

This example shows basic usage of the YUI Cookie utility. The example checks the value of a cookie and then sets it to a new value.

## Simple Cookie Example

This example begins by getting the value of a cookie named "example". If this is the first time you've run the example, the value should be `null`:

    var currentValue = Y.Cookie.get("example");

    var currentValue = Y.Cookie.get("example");

var currentValue = Y.Cookie.get("example");

This value is output in an alert. Next, the cooke is set to a random value:

    var newValue = "yui" + Math.round(Math.random() * Math.PI);Y.Cookie.set("example", newValue);

    var newValue = "yui" + Math.round(Math.random() * Math.PI);
    Y.Cookie.set("example", newValue);

var newValue = "yui" + Math.round(Math.random() * Math.PI); Y.Cookie.set("example", newValue);

When you reload the page, the value of the cookie should be the one that was just set.

Note: this example uses session cookies, so the value will be lost if you close the browser.
