### getMaxAge

    public int getMaxAge()

  Get the maximum age of the the cookie in seconds. Cookies older than the maximum age are discarded. A cookie can be unset by sending a new cookie with maximum age of 0 since it will overwrite any existing cookie and then be immediately discarded. The default value of -1 indicates that the cookie will be discarded at the end of the browser/application session.

  Returns:
    the maximum age in seconds

### isSecure

    public boolean isSecure()

  Whether the cookie will only be sent over a secure connection. Defaults to false.

  Returns:
    true if the cookie will only be sent over a secure connection, false otherwise.

### toCookie

    public Cookie toCookie()

  Obtain a new instance of a `Cookie` with the same name, value, path, domain and version as this `NewCookie`. This method can be used to obtain an object that can be compared for equality with another `Cookie`; since a `Cookie` will never compare equal to a `NewCookie`.

  Returns:
    a `Cookie`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Convert the cookie to a string suitable for use as the value of the corresponding HTTP header.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Cookie`
  Returns:
    a stringified cookie

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Generate a hashcode by hashing all of the properties

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Cookie`
  Returns:
    the hashcode

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Compare for equality. Use `toCookie()` to compare a `NewCookie` to a `Cookie` considering only the common properties.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Cookie`
  Parameters:
    `obj` -
  Returns:
    true if the object is a `NewCookie` with the same value for all properties, false otherwise.
