   I have no idea how to use this function: [cgi:make-cookie]

perhaps you will find the latest docs more clear:

 - Scheme Procedure: cgi:make-cookie name value #:key (path #f) (domain
          #f) (expires #f) (secure #f)
     Return a string suitable for inclusion into an HTTP response header
     as a cookie with NAME and VALUE.  Recognize and format
     appropriately the optional keyword parameters `#:path',
     `#:domain', `#:expires' (strings); and `#:secure' (boolean).

here is a simple example call to this proc:

 (cgi:make-cookie 'war 'lose #:path "/ignorance/suffering")
 => "Set-Cookie: war=lose; path=/ignorance/suffering"

note that NAME and VALUE may also be strings.  probably next version of
guile-www will also accept keywords for those args.
