jquery set cookie without plugin

Question

Most of the answers I've checked suggest using a plugin, but to save me editing 100+ pages of my site by adding a plugin URL into the headers, I'm asking if it's possible to do the following without a plugin...

I have a menu with several submenus that are toggled to show/hide using jquery. I want to save a cookie so the menu status is saved between page loads.

Current code example:

$('#heading1').click(function() {
$('#menu1').toggle( "fast" );
});

$('#heading2').click(function() {
$('#menu2').toggle( "fast" );
});

If it's not possible/easy then I'll go for the plugin

Your 100+ pages of your site should share a common header (template). Regarding your issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14573223/set-cookie-and-get-cookie-with-javascript — A. Wolff, Feb 25 '14 at 14:59

You can also just past the plugin code above these lines? Or at the bottom of that file. Because the plugin is nothing more than a few lines of code. You can make it custom but than you are spending more time.

Add the plugin to the top of the file. And use cookies.

The default JavaScript "API" for setting a cookie is as easy as:

document.cookie = 'mycookie=valueOfCookie;expires=DateHere;path=/'
