Cookies: Updating a cookie

To update the value of a cookie, just assign a new value to the cookie name:

document.cookie = 'name=Flavio2'

Similar to updating the value, to update the expiration date, reassign the value with a new expires or max-age property:

document.cookie = 'name=Flavio; max-age=31536000' //expires in 1 year

Just remember to also add any additional parameters you added in the first place, like path or domain.
