Thanks Randy. That confirms what I have been discovering since last night.
This is a little annoying given that there are some bits of information that I would love to set for the entire site. For instance, if I wish to remember the current surfing language of a user and set that in a cookie with path "/", who's to say that, on the next session that the user will start, she won't enter the site through a different logical path? Is there such a thing as site-wide cookies? 2008/8/9 Randy Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > If the path is different then they are completely separate cookies.
