How to store cookies in Asp.Net Identity for webApi

Hello all,

I have Asp.net web Application project with WebApi and individuals user Account. I implemented Registration and login, and I used angularjs in front end.

Now, I need to store cookies in browser.

I'm confused if authentication based on cookies store cookies in browser?

In my project I authenticate users based on token.

I do research but it confuse me and I did't find a clear guide to store cookies using Asp.Net Identity webApi?

Also, I don't understand if I need to use claims?

This is the mothed for check user authentication:

public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
{
var userManager = context.OwinContext.GetUserManager();
ApplicationUser user = await userManager.FindAsync(context.UserName, context.Password);
if (user == null)
{
context.SetError("invalid_grant", "The user name or password is incorrect.");
return;
}
ClaimsIdentity oAuthIdentity = await user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(userManager);
ClaimsIdentity cookiesIdentity = await user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(userManager);
AuthenticationProperties properties = CreateProperties(user.UserName);
AuthenticationTicket ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(oAuthIdentity, properties);
context.Validated(ticket);
context.Request.Context.Authentication.SignIn(cookiesIdentity);
}
