new(name = "", *value) public

The contents of the cookie can be specified as a name and one or more value arguments. Alternatively, the contents can be specified as a single hash argument. The possible keywords of this hash are as follows:

name	the name of the cookie. Required.
value	the cookie’s value or list of values.
path	the path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the base directory of the CGI script.
domain	the domain for which this cookie applies.
expires	the time at which this cookie expires, as a `Time` object.
secure	whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.

These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.
