You can build a cookie-proxy by creating a Flash application and use Shared Objects (SO = Flash cookies) to store data. Any Browsers with Flash installed could retrieve the informations stored in the SO. But, it’s an ugly workaround. Just don’t share cookies… and find another way to build your website/app.
No more than 50 cookies per domain, with a maximum of 4 KB per cookie (or even 4 KB in total, see Iain’s answer). On IE 6 it used to be 20 cookies per domain. Generally it’s recommended to preserve state on the server, and use cookies only for session tracking. They’re sent along with … Read more
So the iFrame isn’t actually setting the u cookie for the runwithfriends.appspot.com domain. What Facebook does is it creates a form, <form action=”runwithfriends.appspot.com/…” target=”name_of_iframe” method=”POST”> and uses javascript to submit the form on page load.

I have managed to solve this issue with the help of Vasiliy Baranov from Oracle. Vasiliy wrote to me: Try putting the cookie into java.net.CookieHandler.getDefault() after the WebView is instantiated for the first time and before the call to WebEngine.load, e.g. as follows: WebView webView = new WebView(); URI uri = URI.create(“http://mysite.com”); Map<String, List<String>> headers … Read more
Sessions are usualy used for this. According to Wikipedia, when no expiration date is set, a cookie is cleared when the user closes the browser. The cookie setter can specify a deletion date, in which case the cookie will be removed on that date. If the cookie setter does not specify a date, the cookie … Read more
