Creating cookie (preferably in controller):

cookies[:referer] = "stackoverflow"

Creating cookie that expires in an hour:

cookies[:referer] = { :value => "stackoverflow", :expires => Time.now + 1.hour}

Reading cookie:

ref = cookies[:referer] # "stackoverflow"

Deleting cookie:

cookies.delete :referer
