How to read and write cookies in ASP?

Hi I've been searching around and found a lot of sample code but none seem to be working for me. Can someone here help?

This is what I have for writing:
' Sometimes writting the cookie, so I kill it first.
Response.Cookies("MySite")("var1")=var1
response.cookies("MySite").Expires=Date() -1

' Really where I write the cookie.
Response.Cookies("MySite")("var1")=var1
Response.Cookies("MySite")("var2")=var2
response.cookies("MySite").Expires=#January 1,2025#

This is what I have for reading:
var1 = Request.Cookies("MySite")("var1")
var2 = Request.Cookies("MySite")("var2")

var1 and var2 are always empty. When I go to view the cookied that was written, through IE Tools > Internet Options ... my cookie is simply named '[sitename]' rather than 'cookie:user@site.com'. I think this may be the reason I can't read the cookie. Now when I open the cookie in notepad, it looks correct.

MySitevar1=FirstVar&var2=SecondVarlocalhost/MySite1024430100483115316269161793629688409*

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Response.Cookies("user")("lastname")="Smith"
Response.Cookies("user")("country")="Norway"
Response.Cookies("user")("age")="25"
%>

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<%
dim x,y
for each x in Request.Cookies
  response.write("<p>")
  if Request.Cookies(x).HasKeys then
    for each y in Request.Cookies(x)
      response.write(x & ":" & y & "=" & Request.Cookies(x)(y))
      response.write("<br>")
    next
  else
