+-- ==== Creating a SetCookie 
+--
+-- 'SetCookie' does not export a constructor; instead, use the 'Default' instance to create one and override values (see <http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types> for details):
+--
+-- @
+-- import Web.Cookie
+-- :set -XOverloadedStrings
+-- let cookie = 'def' { 'setCookieName' = "cookieName", 'setCookieValue' = "cookieValue" }
+-- @
+--
+-- ==== Cookie Configuration
+--
+-- Cookies have several configuration options; a brief summary of each option is given below. For more information, see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-4.1.2 RFC 6265> or <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Cookie_attributes Wikipedia>.
