How do I store if a user clicked a button on a cookie using JavaScript?

I'm trying to make a simple website for a friend. The purpose is picking a ticket and showing an alert and disabling the button showing that the ticket has been already redeemed. I also want to store that on a cookie, because if my friend leaves the webpage, the values are restored to default and not based on the choices my friend have made.

The HTML code is this:

<img id="first_ticket" src="ticket_not_edited.png" width="50%">
<br>
<button id="first_button" class="ticket1" onclick="first()">Redeem</button>

The JavaScript code is:

 function first() {
  alert("You've redeemed successfuly the first ticket.");
  document.getElementById("first_button").style.background='#FF0000';
  document.getElementById("first_button").disabled = true;
  document.getElementById('first_button').src='broken_ticket.png';
  document.getElementById('first_button').innerHTML = "REDEEMED";
}

The purpose is to store the user's choice on a cookie so I can always check what my friend has chosen to disable the ticket and the button availability.

Also, how can I make it to check if my friend chose a ticket to disable some options (by "some options" I'm referring to disabling the button and changing the image to a broken ticket"?

Thanks in advance!

You can use document. cookie to store the answer, and you can check in the link below to know if it exists.

Got it from here:

final:

<img id="first_ticket" src="" width="50%">
<br>
<button id="first_button" class="ticket1" onclick="checkIfExists()">Canjear</button>

<script>
    // check if it Exists
    function getCookie(name) {
        var dc = document.cookie;
        var prefix = name + "=";
        var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
        if (begin == -1) {
            begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
            if (begin != 0) return null;
        }
        else {
            begin += 2;
            var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
            if (end == -1) {
                end = dc.length;
            }
        }
        return decodeURI(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
    }

    var myCookie = getCookie("first");

    if (myCookie == null) {
        alert('Welcome! Please Choose A ticket below.');
    }
    else {
        alert('Welcome back! You already choose a ticket!');
        document.getElementById("first_button").style.background = '#FF0000';
        document.getElementById("first_button").disabled = true;
        document.getElementById('first_button').src = 'broken_ticket.png';
        document.getElementById('first_button').innerHTML = "REDEEMED";
    }

    function checkIfExists() {
        if (myCookie == null) {
            document.cookie = "first = 'yes'";
            alert("You've redeemed successfuly the first ticket.");
            document.getElementById("first_button").style.background = '#FF0000';
            document.getElementById("first_button").disabled = true;
            document.getElementById('first_button').src = 'broken_ticket.png';
            document.getElementById('first_button').innerHTML = "REDEEMED";
        }
        else {
            alert('Oh. You already choose a ticket.');
        }
    }

</script>
