Change a cookie value of a cookie that already exists

by

From ASP.NET Cookies Overview:

You cannot directly modify a cookie. Instead, changing a cookie
consists of creating a new cookie with new values and then sending the
cookie to the browser to overwrite the old version on the client.

You can try this:

HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["SurveyCookie"];
if (cookie == null)
{
    // no cookie found, create it
    cookie = new HttpCookie("SurveyCookie");
    cookie.Values["surveyPage"] = "1";
    cookie.Values["surveyId"] = "1";
    cookie.Values["surveyTitle"] = "Definietly not an NSA Survey....";
    cookie.Values["lastVisit"] = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString();
}
else
{
    // update the cookie values
    int newSurveyPage = int.Parse(cookie.Values["surveyPage"]) + 1;
    cookie.Values["surveyPage"] = newSurveyPage.ToString();
}

// update the expiration timestamp
cookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(30);

// overwrite the cookie
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
