**httponly** `Boolean` (optional) : defaults to `false`

**secure** `Boolean` (optional) : defaults to `false`

**samesite** `String` : samesite

##methods

var cookieString = cookie.stringify( cookieObject );
// cookieName=cookie%20value; Expires: Sat, 15-Aug-2015 17:41:05 GMT; Max-Age: 31449600; Path=/; domain=domain.com; secure; samesite=None


cookie.parse( cookieString  [, defaultPath]  [, defaultDomain]  );
// will create object like the 'cookieObject'


cookie.tokenize([
	{name:'cookie1', value: 'cvalue1'},
	{name:'cookie2', value: 'cvalue2'},
	{name:'cookie3', value: 'cvalue3'}
]);
// cookie1=cvalue1; cookie2=cvalue2; cookie3=cvalue3
```
