Refresh Meta Tag and Cookies

Hello,
I have just started to learn about meta tags. I read on the web
that I can use a statement like [see below] to set a cookie on the client.

<META HTTP-EQUIV='Refresh' CONTENT='1; URL=example.com'>

How does the server pass information like session-id to be stored in the cookie
without explicitly using any set-cookie,[key,value] pairs ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Aravind.

You've found an utterly clueless source to learn from. Even if you
correct the syntax of what you wrote, it's extremely bad practice.

Drop it, and start with a decent tutorial or book. And google for existing
answers before asking your next question.
