jquery cookie, save cookies in where?

Maybe this is a basic question. but I still not sure jquery cookie, save cookies in where?

like this one: http://code.google.com/p/cookies/wiki/Documentation

the cookies save in server part or in custom browser part?

I guess save in custom browser part. jquery cookie just is a tool, it should be like php cookie/session, save each cookie depends on different URL.

But when I see it need set domain and path. I am puzzed, if it depends on different URL, why not use domain + window.location.hash? the path for what?

"JQuery cookie" is a simple tool which makes use of document.cookie. This basic JavaScript feature stores cookies at the user's browser.

A cookie can be defined with some properties:

  • max-age - Expiration date in seconds (Jquery implementation: {expires: __} in days)
  • domain - By default, a cookie is saved at the current domain. It's however possible to change the domain to any domain from the current subdomain to the top domain (sub.sub2.top.nl -> sub2.top.nl -> top.nl, but not another.top.nl).
  • path - By default, the cookie is applied to /. It's possible to change this default, so that only a specific directory is matched.
  • secure - This flag can be added through passing secure: true in JQuery. When this option is set, cookies are targeted at the HTTPS protocol only.
