  _PublicKey = elli_cookie:get(<<"key">>, Cookies),
  %% ... and do something with it

  %% create new cookie for domain www.example.com that expires in two weeks
  FizzCookie = elli_cookie:new(<<"fizz">>, <<"buzz">>,
                               [elli_cookie:domain(<<"www.example.com">>),
                                elli_cookie:expires({2, weeks})]),

  %% delete key cookie
  DeleteKeyCookie = elli_cookie:delete(<<"key">>),

  %% return response with cookies
  {ok, [DeleteKeyCookie, FizzCookie], <<"key deleted; fizz set">>}.
