Setting a region cookie

[Michael Loftis]

You're setting it in the wrong place/way.  To set a cookie in the
browser you must set it in the response sent to the browser inside of
say vcl_deliver.  There's no variables so if you need to propogate
data from e/g vcl_recv you can set an "internal" header on the
req....see say https://www.fastly.com/blog/vcl-cookie-monster for an
example.
