Hello Sailaja,

you can code like this,

C#

//add a username Cookie
Response.Cookies["userName"].Value = "Username";
Response.Cookies["userName"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);
//Can Limit a cookie to a certain Domain
Response.Cookies["domain"].Domain = "Codeproject.com";
//request a username cookie
if(Request.Cookies["userName"] != null)
   lblUserName.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.Cookies["userName"].Value);

Note:No sensitive information should be stored in a cookie.

All the Best:)
