Question

I may be asking the wrong question but I am still fairly new to JavaScript. I need to create a cookie that will re-strict the number of usages a user has for an online product demo. In pseudo code, I assume it would be something like this:

if(readCookie('demo') == null){ 
 createCookie('demo','1',1);}  //Assuming the functions for setting a cookie and retrieving it have already been created.
else {
    readCookie('demo');
}

if demo cookie has value{
    increment the value by one
}
else if value exceeds 10 {
    alert message //I set this so I could test out the function
}

Any help would be appreciated!
