------------------------------------------------------

[](#using-commandstringencrypt-with-commandstringcookies)

### *[I recommend checking out the README for CommandString/Encrypt](https://github.com/CommandString/encrypt#basic-usage)*

[](#i-recommend-checking-out-the-readme-for-commandstringencrypt)

```
use CommandString\CookieEncryption\CookieEncryption;
use CommandString\Cookies\Cookie;

// use the cookieEncryption class that wraps around cmdstr/encrypt/encryption class
$cookies = new Cookie(new CookieEncryption("MZCdg02STLzrsj05KE3SIL62SSlh2Ij", "AES-256-CTR"));
// ... now cmdstr/encrypt will handle encrypting cookies
```
