Also, there's a good LGPL javascript library that has all the important cookie functions (as well as a ton of other goodies) here: http://cross-browser.com/ If you want to let the user auto-login (assuming it's not a site on which security is critical), then a common thing to do is to store the username as one cookie, and a HASH of username+password as another. It's important not to just store the password in plaintext, or a hash of the password alone (because there are dictionaries of hashes of 8 or 9 characters available).
