Cookies are very dependent upon consistency in domain names for security reasons. (You don't want your competition writing cookies for your site). A cookie won't be saved to disk unless the issuer domain name matches the domain name of the cookie. Only the domain name that matches the cookie's can read it from the client computer. So if the domain names are the same, then it would work. Sandy Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
