True in the basic sense of how cookies work... but you could generate some
sort of ID yourself for a given window and make it part of the cookie
value, so you'd store in the cookie:

<windowID>,<cookie_value>

Or better yet, as part of the cookie name.  Either way, you could then
pull up the cookies for the domain, and sift through for the one your
interested in.

Slightly inefficient, but probably acceptable, and might not get you away
from Javascript, but that depends on how you used it (i.e., if you only
deal with the cookies server-side programmatically, you should be able to
get away with scripting).
