Set cookie in Magento2?

Question

Mage::getModel('core/cookie')->set('visitor_id', $visitorId, $this->_getExpiryTime(), '/');

How to convert this code into magento2?

I have trying this:

 $this->_cookieManager->setCookie('visitor_id', $visitorId, $this->getExpiryTime(), '/'); 

But its shows error.

This is my fun():

public function generateVisitorId()
{
    $visitorId = $this->_checkoutSession->get('visitor_id');              
    if (!$visitorId) {
        $visitorId = uniqid();
        $this->_cookieManager->setCookie('visitor_id', $visitorId, $this->getExpiryTime(), '/');        
    }

    return $visitorId;
}

Here is a code from one of my modules:

use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper as MagentoAbstractHelper;
use Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context;
use Magento\Framework\Session\SessionManagerInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Stdlib\Cookie\CookieMetadataFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Stdlib\CookieManagerInterface;

class Cookie extends MagentoAbstractHelper
{
    const DEFAULT_COOKIE_LIFETIME = 172800; // 2 days
    const CONNECTOR_COOKIE_NAME = 'CONNECTOR';

    /**
     * @var \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
     */
    protected $storeManager;

    /**

     */
    protected $cookieManager;

    /**

     */
    protected $cookieMetadataFactory;

    /**

    protected $sessionManager;

    /**

     * @param SessionManagerInterface $sessionManager
     */
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        CookieManagerInterface $cookieManager,
        CookieMetadataFactory $cookieMetadataFactory,
        SessionManagerInterface $sessionManager
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
        $this->cookieManager = $cookieManager;
        $this->cookieMetadataFactory = $cookieMetadataFactory;
        $this->sessionManager = $sessionManager;
    }

    /**
     * Get data from cookie

     */
    public function get()
    {
        $value = $this->cookieManager->getCookie($this->getCookieName());
        if ($this->isJson($value)) {
            $value = json_decode($value, true);
        }

        return $value;
    }

    /**

     *

     */
    public function set($value, $duration = null)
    {
        $metadata = $this->cookieMetadataFactory
            ->createPublicCookieMetadata()
            ->setDuration($duration ? $duration : static::DEFAULT_COOKIE_LIFETIME)
            ->setPath($this->sessionManager->getCookiePath())
            ->setDomain($this->sessionManager->getCookieDomain());
        if (is_array($value)) {
            $value = json_encode($value);
        }
        $this->cookieManager->setPublicCookie(
            $this->getCookieName(),
            $value,
            $metadata
        );
    }

    /**
     * delete cookie remote address
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function delete()
    {
        $this->cookieManager->deleteCookie(
            $this->getCookieName(),
            $this->cookieMetadataFactory
                ->createCookieMetadata()
                ->setPath($this->sessionManager->getCookiePath())
                ->setDomain($this->sessionManager->getCookieDomain())
        );
    }

    /**
     * Used to get cookies name (key) by which data can be set or get
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getCookieName()
    {
        return static::CONNECTOR_COOKIE_NAME;
    }

    /**

    public function isJson($string)
    {
        json_decode($string);

        return (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE);
    }
}

You can use this code to work with a cookies.

PS: CONNECTOR - name of my module.
