To set and get cookies in Laravel, you can use the Cookie facade.

1. Setting a Cookie: To set a cookie, you can use the Cookie::queue() method. The queue() method is used to store the cookie in the response. This way, the browser will receive the cookie in the next request.

Here's an example of setting a cookie:

7

use IlluminateSupportFacadesCookie;

public function setCookie()
{
    $cookie = Cookie::queue('name', 'value', $minutes);
    return response('Cookie has been set')->withCookie($cookie);
}

In the above example, the name and value parameters represent the name and value of the cookie, and the $minutes parameter represents the duration of the cookie in minutes.

1. Getting a Cookie: To retrieve a cookie, you can use the Cookie::get() method. This method accepts the name of the cookie as a parameter and returns its value.

Here's an example of getting a cookie:

1

5

7

use IlluminateSupportFacadesCookie;

public function getCookie(Request $request)
{
    $value = Cookie::get('name');
    return $value;
}

In the above example, name represents the name of the cookie you want to retrieve.

Note: Don't forget to import the Cookie facade at the top of your file with the use statement.
