In this video we'll be teaching you just how easy it is to use cookies in your Laravel project.

In order to set a cookie you would need to redirect the user and set a cookie by using the following code:

$ref = 'my cookie value';
return redirect('/')->withCookie('ref', $ref);

If you wanted to set a cookie that lasted forever you would use the following code:

$ref = 'my cookie value';
return redirect('/')->withCookie(cookie()->forever('ref', $ref));

Then in order to get the value of a cookie we would use the following code:

$cookie = $request->cookie('ref');
