Call setFBCookie(response) inside when you login and receive a response object like here:

FB.Event.subscribe('auth.sessionChange', function(response) {
    if (response.session) {
         setFBCookie(response);
       //Just printing out the name to make sure everything's right.
       FB.api('/me', function(response) {
        console.log(response.name);
       });
   }
});

*/

//Change this to something else when running the app remotely since you presumably want to let FBJS do its thing.
var ENV = "LOCAL";

function setFBCookie(response){
  if("ENV" == "LOCAL"){
    console.log("Running custom cookie function.");
  
    var sep = '&';
    var encode = encode === false ? function(s) { return s; } : encodeURIComponent;
  
    var pairs = new Array();
    for (var p in response.session){
      var val = response.session[p];
      var key = p;
      if (val !== null && typeof val != 'undefined') {
        pairs.push(encode(key) + '=' + encode(val));
      }
    }
    pairs.sort();                      
    pairs = pairs.join("&");
  
    setCookie('fbs_%s',pairs);
  }else{
    console.log("Not running custom cookie function");
  }
}

function setCookie(szName, szValue, szExpires, szPath, szDomain, bSecure)
{
 	var szCookieText = 	   szName + '=\"' + szValue + '\"';
	szCookieText +=	 	   (szExpires ? '; EXPIRES=' + szExpires.toGMTString() : '');
	szCookieText += 	   (szPath ? '; PATH=' + szPath : '');
	szCookieText += 	   (szDomain ? '; DOMAIN=' + szDomain : '');
	szCookieText += 	   (bSecure ? '; SECURE' : '');

	document.cookie = szCookieText;
