For this example, the website allows the setting of cookies through the web page.
Clicking the Set Test Cookie button on the web page sets a random cookie.
set(#my cookie,$get cookie("TestCookie_Name_201510161228"),"Global")
The get cookie function is given the name of the cookie with the value being sought. The cookie name can come from a scraped value, variable, a table item, or a list item.
Once the set command is run, the value of the specified cookie is set to the variable #mycookie.
Keep in mind that each time the Set Cookies Test button on the web page is clicked, a new random cookie is generated.
