How can errors related to cookies in PHP be effectively debugged?

To effectively debug errors related to cookies in PHP, you can start by checking if the cookies are being set correctly, if the cookie values are being retrieved accurately, and if the cookie expiration time is set appropriately. Additionally, make sure that there are no spaces or output before setting cookies in your PHP code. 

// Check if the cookie is being set correctly
setcookie('example_cookie', 'cookie_value', time() + 3600, '/');

// Check if the cookie value is being retrieved accurately
$cookie_value = $_COOKIE['example_cookie'];
echo $cookie_value;

// Check if the cookie expiration time is set appropriately
setcookie('example_cookie', 'cookie_value', time() + 3600, '/');

// Ensure there are no spaces or output before setting cookies
