Data type representing the key-value pair to use for a cookie, as well as configuration options for it.

Creating a SetCookie

SetCookie does not export a constructor; instead, use the Default instance to create one and override values (see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types for details):

import Web.Cookie
:set -XOverloadedStrings
let cookie = def { setCookieName = "cookieName", setCookieValue = "cookieValue" }
