You use it like so:

$.cookie('cookie_name', 'value'); // to set

$.cookie('cookie_name'); // to get

You can use this plugin

example: to set a cookie

$.cookie("example", "foo");

Answer 3

You don't need a jQuery plugin, you can easily access cookies in JavaScript. Here's how: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.cookie

But maybe the plugins linked in the other answers will give you easier access.
