persistant cookies using nodejs

I want to save some cookies in my browser using node.js. Any one knows how I can achieve this behavior? My purpose is when the user has checked the checkbox("keep me logged in") then the checkbox state and the cookies should be stored.

User jQuery cookie plugin

Create session cookie:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value');

Create expiring cookie, 7 days from then:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7 });

Create expiring cookie, valid across entire site:

$.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7, path: '/' });

Read cookie:

$.cookie('the_cookie'); // => "the_value"
$.cookie('not_existing'); // => null

Delete cookie:

// Returns true when cookie was found, false when no cookie was found...

$.removeCookie('the_cookie');

// Same path as when the cookie was written...

$.removeCookie('the_cookie', { path: '/' });
