In particular, focus on at least two of the following points while providing sample code (with comments) of each:

Describe how to create, read, and delete cookies with the document.cookie property.

Explain how to parse a cookie string.

Describe the visibility, scope, and lifetime of a cookie.

Explain how cookies can create a customized user experience.

DQ2 Challenges with Query String and Storing Persistent Information

Note: The second discussion in each unit of this course is dedicated to community sharing of challenges and solutions you have encountered while completing your Unitly assignment. You are encouraged to post and respond early in the Unit to share experiences that you are having, and to help others with theirs. This is how coders solve tough issues: they rely on one another!

Modern Web sites rely increasingly on processing queries. Saving that data and passing it along to other Web pages is just as important.

Discuss one or more of the challenges or experiences that you encountered when trying to complete this Unit's assignment. How did you try to address it or solve it?
