/*
	THE COOKIE.SET AND COOKIE.GET FUNCTIONS ARE BASED ON FUNCTIONS FROM W3SCHOOLS.COM AND QUIRKSMODE.ORG/JS/COOKIES.HTML.
	THE SETCOOKIE FUNCTION ON THE W3SCHOOLS SITE DOES NOT ACCEPT NEGATIVE NUMBERS SO I'M USING THE QUIRKSMODE
	FUNCTION. THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE IS THAT THE QUIRKSMODE CODE DOESN'T ESCAPE THE VALUE, WHICH I'M DOING HERE.
	I LIKED THE W3SCHOOLS GETCOOKIE FUNCTION MORE BECAUSE THE QUIRKSMODE FUNCTION USED SPLIT TO CREATE AND ARRAY
	AND THEN LOOPED THROUGH IT. I THINK THE INDEXOF IS PROBABLY MORE EFFICIENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE COOKIE DOESN'T EXIST.
