I just tried this on my test macbine:

    [set-cookie name="test"
            value="[calc][read-cookie test]+1[/calc]"
            expire="Fri, 31-May-2002 23:59:59 GMT"]
    [read-cookie test]

The page showed the previous value of the cookie each time I
reloaded the page, as expected.

My browser was configured to throw away new cookies on exit,
so it didn't work across sessions until I enabled the facility.
I've disabled it again now.
