<cfcookie name="adminUser" value="#form.username#" domain="website1.domain.com">
And
Website2.domain.com
<cfcookie name="adminUser" value="#form.username#" domain="website2.domain.com">
Would set them differently .. and if you where on website1 with that cookie set, and then tried to go to website2, the cookie would not be available correct?
Thanks

The answer is, it depends. By default, cookies are domain-specific. That is,
when a cookie is set, the browser will return it whenever it makes a request
to any host within that domain. However, you can control this within the
DOMAIN attribute of the CFCOOKIE tag. You can even limit the cookie so that
it is only returned for requests for specific files or directories using the
PATH attribute.
However, if I recall correctly, when you use CF's Session or Client
management, and you allow CF to set the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies, those
cookies are host-specific by default. I could be wrong about this, though,
but it's easy enough to test this by using a telnet client or the like to
make a single request. I'm not sure about the behavior of the JSESSIONID
cookie used with CFMX's J2EE session option, either.

No, they're separate hosts within the same domain.
