so... how sercure are cookies... can i relyl on them to store money in an online casino i'm making... also, how do i alter and update cookies?

Cookies would not be good for what you speak of. For example, you're looking for them to store money (winnings?) from a casino? What if they moved to a different computer or cleared their internet cache? The answer is their winnings would suddenly disappear. What you want will have to be done with a database at the server.

In any case, you can find information for cookies with JavaScript in these places.
