| name | The name of the cookie, returned by $Web_Cookie_Name. A required argument if occurrence is not specified, otherwise it is optional. |

| start | Starting position within the name. This is an optional argument which defaults to 1. |

Usage notes
- $Web_Cookie_Parm returns the value of a cookie sent by the browser and is not affected by $Web_Set_Cookie calls before the $Web_Cookie_Parm call.
For example, if a browser sent a cookie called "FOO" with a value of "PUB", in the following code:
%rc = $Web_Set_Cookie( 'FOO', 'BAR') %FOO = $Web_Cookie_Parm( 'FOO' )
%FOO would be set to "PUB".
Examples
This example places the value of each cookie into a User Language %variable of the same name.
%ARTIST = $Web_Cookie_Parm( 'ARTIST' ) %GENRE = $Web_Cookie_Parm( 'GENRE' )
