I need a cookie script coded for my website. The script needs to have a similar function to a redirection script, but with a few differences.
Each time someone signs up for my newsletter on my site, I would like a cookie placed on their computer, that lasts for 7 days - either when they click the submit button, or upon being redirected to the 'Thankyou' page (which is only accessible through signing up), whatever works best. The cookie will then enable them to access a special discount offer page for 7 days from the time they signed up, a link for which is sent to them in an email.
Basically, if they click on the link they are sent within 7 days, they can access/are redirected to the special discount page. If they click on the link after 7 days, they are redirected to a different page on which I will have a message saying they have missed out.
I don't want the cookie to reset itself on someone's computer after the 7 days have expired, as is the case with many redirection cookies, if the person revisits the page on which it was set.
Thanks
