Authoring Guide, Using Cookies
DOMAIN defaults to domain of server where cookie set and general matching matching is done starting at end of domain
  • DOMAIN=npac.syr.edu matches all servers ending with these characters
PATH=/ is most general path and matches all paths but default is again path of document that set cookie.
  • Thus you must set PATH explicitly to / if you want cookie to be valid for a file stored in directory below that of setting document
SECURE if present requires a secure communication channel
