HttpCookie.Expire Affects Time Zone?

I am trying to write cookies from my website and I am trying to figure out what the consequences are of the time limits on the HttpCookie.Expire property. Do I have to go through DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)or DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1)or users time zone plus day?

If you use local time, .NET will automatically convert it to GMT when it is output to the client.

So it does not matter for the cookie, but I suggest you always work with UTC, so at least you can assume that in your data the time zone offset is always 0.
