This is real easy and there's thousands of good examples on the web. One provided by microsoft is at;

You'll be needing to use lines like the following;

Response.Cookies("UserName") = username 'set cookie
username = Request.Cookies("UserName") 'read cookie

oh, if you are using hosted webspace within a url (not your own domain) then you'll need to set the path of the cookies, but I can't think how you do that without looking.
