Easy cookie handling using jQuery.
  Usage 
 
-  $.cookie('the_cookie');: return the value of the cookie
-  $.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value');: set the value of a cookie
-  $.cookie('the_cookie', 'the_value', { expires: 7, path: '/', domain: 'jquery.com', secure: true });:     create a cookie with all available options.
-  $.cookie('the_cookie', null);: delete a cookie by passing null as value.      Keep in mind that you have to use the same path and domain used when the cookie was set.
  Options 
 
-  expires: either an integer specifying the expiration date from now on in days or a Date object.     If a negative value is specified (e.g. a date in the past), the cookie will     be deleted.  If set to null or omitted, the cookie will be a session cookie and     will not be retained when the the browser exits.
-  path: the value of the path atribute of the cookie (default: path of page that created the cookie).
-  domain: the value of the domain attribute of the cookie (default: domain of page that created the cookie).
-  secure: if true, the secure attribute of the cookie will be set and the cookie transmission will     require a secure protocol (like HTTPS).
