To add to what Edward and Ray have already said, it may be the case that the cookies are host-specific, rather than domain-specific, so you'll need to see if they exist at all when someone visits your CF application. For example, if you had two different URLs: mybb.example.com www.example.com those two are within the example.com domain, and therefore can share cookies. But, it's possible that the myBB application set the cookies so that they're only returned to mybb.example.com. In that case, you might have to modify the myBB code to set those cookies as domain-wide.
