I have been asked if it is possible to somehow retain cookies so that they are available to the Drupal PHP code, but not have them used for caching within Varnish. I could not think of a way to perform this, but thought I would ask those with more experience.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

In general yes it should be possible.

You can look for example at this article https://www.fastly.com/blog/vcl-cookie-monster (it's for the 3.x varnish but you should get the idea).

For recent 4.x varnish the filtering should be even more simple with the Cookie vmod https://github.com/varnish/varnish-modules/blob/master/docs/vmod_cookie.rst and maybe the variable mod to store the initial cookies (rather than the old way in extra headers).
