Are you sure that is correct?  As far as I know, the usual course of
events is for a site to set a cookie header in the response it sends
back to the client browser, which gets stored on the client's
computer.  Then when the browser makes subsequent requests to that
site, the browser will automatically include the cookies that were set
by that site.
