URL Param To Cookie

When configured, this plugin examines the visited url for a configured parameter and stores it in a cookie. The cookie name, domain, path
and expiry can be configured.

Installation is the same as commonly found with other wordpress plugins:

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/url-param-to-cookie directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
3. Use the Settings->UrlParamToCookie Settings screen to configure the plugin

I fiddled with the path setting, now I can’t see the cookie

If you want the cookie to apply to the entire site, then set the path variable to ‘/’

What do I do with validity time?

The default for the cookie validity time is 0 – this means the cookie is valid until the end of the session, or until the web browser is closed. If you want the cookie to be valid
for a week, you’d enter 604800, this is a week’s worth of seconds (7 (days) * 24 (hours) * 60 (minutes) * 60 (seconds)).
