To write cookies in CakePHP, you can use the following steps:

1. Import the CakeHttpCookieCookie class at the top of your controller or component file: use CakeHttpCookieCookie;
2. Inside your controller or component method, create a new instance of the Cookie class and set its properties: $cookie = new Cookie('cookie_name'); $cookie->setValue('cookie_value'); // You can also set additional properties like expiration, path, etc. $cookie->setExpires('+1 day'); $cookie->setPath('/'); You can set the value of the cookie using setValue(), and you can set additional properties like expiration, path, domain, secure, and httpOnly using their respective setter methods.
3. To write the cookie, use the $this->response object's withCookie() method: $this->response = $this->response->withCookie($cookie); This sets the cookie in the response headers.
4. Finally, send the modified response back to the client: return $this->response; This will send the response with the cookie.

That's it! The cookie will now be set in the user's browser with the specified properties.
