Azure mobile service javascript back end how to set and read cookies?

So I have this azure mobile service with node back end but I would need to store a cookie when a specific api has been called.

I have my login api set up and working correctly and all I want now is to set a cookie, but I cannot find anything from the azure documentation regarding cookies.

So basically how can I store a cookie from azure javascript back end and how can I access it later from table operations script etc. to check its validity?

EDIT: I checked the Express api reference, which azure says that its request and response objects are from. But even when using response.cookie('token', 'value', {maxAge: 3600000}) I still cannot access it from the request object on the other api.
