Thanks for the advice. I tried to just remove it and it did not seem to make a difference. Still when I try to grab the value of the cookie and print it out, I don't get anything. I added the following print statement
and what follows is the result (I'm guessing it is not actually printing what is in the cookie, but rather what I am trying to put in the cookie)
