Question

I am making a javascript game and in order to save progress I am implementing cookies. I have looked at many tutorials but I cant seem to find one that just saves a variable and then gets the variable from the cookie at a later time only if there is a cookie on the users system. Does anyone know how to implement this? Thanks!
Requirements:
Creates a cookie containing multiple variables
Access the cookie at a later time
Thats it! Thanks!

https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie

Usage:

Create session cookie:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value');

Create expiring cookie, 7 days from then:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7 });

Create expiring cookie, valid across entire site:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7, path: '/' });

Read cookie:

$.cookie('the_cookie'); // => "the_value"
$.cookie('the_cookie', { raw: true }); // => "the_value" not URL decoded
$.cookie('not_existing'); // => null

Delete cookie:

// returns false => No cookie found
// returns true  => A cookie was found
$.removeCookie('the_cookie'[, options]);

Note: when deleting a cookie, you must pass the exact same path, domain and secure options that were used to set the cookie, unless you’re relying on the default options that is.
