I am using this jquery.cookie plugin and I need to set value to TRUE or NULL/FALSE.
I am trying to do it like this: $.cookie('ff', true, { expires: 30, path: '/' }); but it sets the value to string and not boolean.
Any ways of fixing this?

Cookies are only string-valued. As gdoron commented, if you want to treat the value as a boolean, you need to parse it back to a boolean when the cookie value is read back out.
Domain: Specifies the domain name of the website. Name=Value: Cookies are stored in the form of name-value pairs. Path: Specifies the webpage or directory that sets the cookie. Secure: Specifies whether the cookie can be retrieved by any server (secure or non-secure).
Cookies are strings. You'll need to convert the cookie value to the type you want. The boolean values are being saved as true or false because that's the string representation of a boolean.
Function explained:Take the cookiename as parameter (cname). Create a variable (name) with the text to search for (cname + "="). Split document.cookie on semicolons into an array called ca (ca = decodedCookie.split(';')). Loop through the ca array (i = 0; i < ca.length; i++), and read out each value c = ca[i]).

Since you commented that you are reading the cookie value with PHP, see Parsing a string into a boolean value in PHP.
