You can write this in a more compact way:

var now = new Date();
now.setTime(now.getTime() + 1 * 3600 * 1000);
document.cookie = "name=value; expires=" + now.toUTCString() + "; path=/";

And for someone like me, who wasted an hour trying to figure out why the cookie with expiration is not set up (but without expiration can be set up) in Chrome, here is in answer:

For some strange reason Chrome team decided to ignore cookies from local pages. So if you do this on localhost, you will not be able to see your cookie in Chrome. So either upload it on the server or use another browser.
