Answer 1

First you have to define next Saturday this way.

var nextSaturday = new Date();
nextSaturday.setDate(nextSaturday.getDate() + (6 + 7 - nextSaturday.getDay()) % 7);

if you console.log(nextSaturday) it will give you the date of next Saturday. Then you can store your cookie like this:

document.cookie = "myCookie=ok; expires=" + nextSaturday;
