   setCookie("region", "moscow", expires="Thu, 21 Dec 1967 23:45:00", path="/foo",
      domain=".bar.com")

   expires gives the date/time of cookie expiration - the time a browser
will forget it and clear from its cookies file; without "expires" the
cookie will lasts only one session (while browser is up and running);

   path is an URL part that must match a request; without "path" browser
assumes the path of the current request;

   domain is... well, domain :) In .com, .org, .gov, .net, .edu it is
possible to set the 2nd-level domain (.ucsd.edu), in other TLDs you are not
allowed to set 2nd-level domains; use 3rd-level domains only (.foo.bar.mx).
Without "domain" broswer assumes current server's host (host, not domain).
