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?
