I think setting is done by javascript:

function storecookie(name, value, expire) {
  var now = new Date();
  var expiretime = new Date(now.getTime() + expire);
  document.cookie = name+"="+value+"; expires="+expiretime.toGMTString()
+";";
}

and request by PHP is done with:
$_COOKIES

request by javascript is a little bit more complicated because you only 
get all cookies in one single string. You have to split it by ';' and '=':
	cookiearray=document.cookie.split(';');
	for (i=0;i<cookiearray.length;i++) {
		tmp=cookiearray[i].split('=')
		cookielist[tmp[0]]=tmp[1];
	}

your cookie is in: cookielist['name']
