Is it possible to write a cookie from a google apps script from a google site?

The following simple javascript code in a GAS gadget does not appear to work:

document.cookie="username=John Smith; expires=Mon, 31 Aug 2015 12:00:00 UTC; path=/";

Is this one of those sandbox things that I'm not allowed to do? If so, is there an alternative or workaround?

The answer is yes, you can. Simply set the domain property of your cookie to ".googleusercontent.com".

However, for me, the cookie is always deleted when I refresh the page, regardless of the expires string. I don't know why this is happening, but I no longer care. I have found a different solution to the underlying problem of saving an email address client side: HTML5 local storage.
