Setting multiple cookies in Javascript

Question

I'm trying to set multiple cookies in document.cookie, but unfortunately only one is getting added.

I know there are multiple examples present on the 'Net for setting up these kind of cookies,and I followed one of them. But still I'm unable to set that out. I followed this link to set my cookie.

My Code:

   function setCookie(start_time,end_session_time,total_time,flag,count){      var cookie_string = "start_time="+start_time;;      if(end_session_time) {         cookie_string +="; end_session_time="+end_session_time;     }      if(total_time){         cookie_string +="; total_time="+total_time;     }     if(flag){         cookie_string +="; flag="+flag;     }     if(count){         cookie_string +="; count="+count;     }      document.cookie =cookie_string ;     console.log(cookie_string);      console.log("document.cookie ="+ document.cookie); } 

The Output:

cookie_string :: start_time=1369926508266; flag=1; count=1 document.cookie =start_time=1369926508266;  

Answer 1

Adding a cookie is performed via document.cookie = "name=value" to add multiple keys, you should perform multiple assigments

function setCookie(start_time, end_session_time, total_time, flag, count) {     document.cookie = "start_time=" + start_time;      if (end_session_time) {         document.cookie = "end_session_time=" + end_session_time;     }     if (total_time) {         document.cookie = "total_time=" + total_time;     }     if (flag) {         document.cookie = "flag=" + flag;     }     if (count) {         document.cookie = "count=" + count;     }      console.log("document.cookie = " + document.cookie); }

Cookies are key value pairs (with some optional additional info added on, like the expiry date). To set more than one, you just set document.cookie more than once. The ; separator is used to specify the additional info, not to add more different cookies.
