Description

Cookie writing logic is currently duplicated in the following classes:

AbstractRememberMeServices
CookieCsrfTokenRepository
CookieClearingLogoutHandler

Extract common logic into WebUtils to allow for reuse.

WebUtils seems like the most logical option given that logic for reading Cookies is housed here as well.

Research direction

Compare the cookie-writing logic in AbstractRememberMeServices, CookieCsrfTokenRepository, and CookieClearingLogoutHandler with the cookie-reading logic in WebUtils. Done means the common writing logic is available from WebUtils and the three named classes reuse it without duplicating that logic.
